Private security will be run out of business if they act like a bunch of terrorist, and further more, they are only concerned with protecting property rights.  This is in direct contrast to the police, whose job it is to rob people like a bunch of pirates to fund their departments.

While I can see the temptation here, I warn you that there are some serious dangers implied with this. Also, consider this as essentially what has already been done with the police. They work for the plutocracy, and many already indirectly work for one-or-another of only a few mega corporations such as G4S (Wackenhut), Geo Group, or Serco. These corporations often manage correctional facilities, detentions facilities, and are even involved with nuclear facilities. Look no further for a military industrial complex.

History has also shown that when prisons are privatized, things get worse. Read my wiki stub on “Correctional Services Corporation” for a quick reference. Also take note that CSC contracts with the DHS, and all above mentioned corporations are traded on the stock market. So ask yourself: do you think crime should be traded on the stock market? Would not methods of ensuring the profitability of such markets be on the agenda?

I might even say that privatization is part of the reason why our police have become such scoundrels. They certainly are (figuratively) no longer working for the general public. They maintain enough order to perpetuate the economy, and little more.

What does not seem clear to many thick heads, is that despite such wretched circumstances, these are people, citizens, lives, and cannot simply be redistributed or buried. Taking their belongings, caging them, or moving them to other locations accomplishes nothing more than putting something out of mind – unless we find a positive alternative. It is the equivalent of wearing a mask to treat a tooth infection. It is a burden we should be willing to live as long as we have yet to find an ethical solution. And if that cannot be done, then we should have to live with an “eyesore,” and trade aesthetics for humans rights and self respect.

There are ways to ensure certain groups do not interfere with commerce or the well-being of others; none of which entail betraying fellow citizens or cowering from reality.
