Good job, dad! This speaks to me on so many levels and this notion was perfect:

"Not before anything happened, as to prevent something bad happening, but after the fact that all the bad stuff has already happened."

And its absurd that you cant get some kind of recompensation for the bad job the police force is doing, or change your security provider if you find your current one to suck - Yes, you can hire some private security firm from now on, but you still have to pay taxes to fund the police anyway.... plus the police and government controlled justice system still has the last say in whatever your private security firm does... its corrupt.
