It’s exactly because policing attracts people prone to violence that - ideally - would make them especially well-suited to maintain public order. I’m not an anarchist because anarchy is an inherently flawed, self-defeating system (we’ve been over this before).
I have to question why you are an anarchistic, since you seem to think that coppers are paragons of moral virtue, with the probity and good sense to keep the rest of us safe from harm.

I used to be an anarchist. But I have realized that the world is complicated and that, for some problems, government is the only realistic solution. Now I think government should be our last resort for problems such as the antibiotic resistance (caused primarily by the massive use of antibiotics in the egg industry), but that it should still be there.
