Actually, those are dirt poor countries without police. As well-populated countries become poorer, you see an increase in violence.
What the hell is the point of this thread? There are a lot of jobs that our society needs to function effectively. What if all doctors quit? What if all farmers quit? This can go on and on.
But that doesn't mean people can't dislike the police. Of course not. There are people that don't like doctors, dentists, lawyers, etc. but they understand that, at some level, those jobs are necessary for a modern, well-functioning society.
