    Kinda surprised there is no private police force yet because it seems like a great choice for neoliberal privatisation.

      because cops have the strongest unions. they're the only work force (I know, cops aren't "workers" but you get what I mean) in the country that is universally unionized and armed. and since their job is to serve reactionary ends, and oppress the rest of the workers, the capitalists permit this.
