    Pinkertons as police, but they failed so spectacularly

    uhh you might want to brush up on your history there, the pinkertons are still around, still quite closely tied to the government, and still being used (among other things) to suppress union organizing at places like amazon and starbucks! Kinda ridiculous to hear that our government is somehow ‘socialist’ when it does stuff like this.

      I didn’t say they weren’t still around, just that they’re not the police.
