Fragony plucked his whole argument out of thin air, he keeps saying police are useless without any proof at all.

Then his argument that it would be cheaper is simply not true and you'd have to wonder what exactly the benefits of the private security would be again?
Fragony seems to say police are never there when you need them and/because there are not enough of them.

So the national oversight would also tell them how they have to conduct their training, what they can and what they cannot do and in the end you'd have the same thing as the police except it's all a for-profit thing that is paid by the communities instead of, well, the community? Where is the advantage of that, especially if they have to satisfy shareholder interests as well?
