Police don't have immunity for the crimes they commit against citizens. Prosecutions are rare, but not unheard of. And the problem isn't how to solve disputes between people who can solve problems without resorting to violence. The problem is how to deal with people who can't, or don't want to. Someone has to use violence to resist violence. If you can think of a better way to govern that group, great, but just proposing to eliminate them entirely is a child's dream. Even the book you mentioned acknowledges that. In the chapter Individual Security in a Stateless Society, it says: > The inhabitants of the anarchic society would most likely wish to develop systematic institutions ... [that] serve the function that police serve in governmental systems.
