Perhaps it's not too fantastical for readers of CopBlock.org, who are intimately familiar with endless examples of police employee aggression. And maybe it's not even too surprising for others who are starting to see through the thin blue line propaganda. But for those who still unthinkingly parrot the mantra that a stranger with a badge is automatically a "hero," it should be a wake up call.
The perspective put-forth by Stringham is being reinforced by the efforts of Fatal Encounters, who have already documented over 18,000 people killed by U.S. police since 2000. Review the details, sign-up for their emails, and donate to help their efforts, at http://FatalEncounters.org.
The first step to change this situation is education. That's why Stringham's comments and the work of the Fatal Encounters team are cited here.
As an aside, Stringham edited a superb book called Anarchy and the Law: The Political Economy of Choice. A collection of essays that present various viewpoints on issues of law, security, and protection, I found the content thought-provoking. More information about the book can be found at http://CopBlock.org/Library.

Cop Block is a decentralized project supported by a diverse group of individuals united by their shared goal of police accountability. We believe that no one – not even those with badges – has extra rights. The failure to realize and act on that is to our detriment. By focusing the disinfecting light of transparency on aggressors we safeguard not just our rights but those of future generations.
