#1 Oh, this will work out well, Families instead of Police, do you think there'll be favrotism?

I do.

#2 These "Police" will not be stopping crime, they will be enforcing neighborhood security and political views. PC and self interest sorts of things. Property "around here" Police. If civil unrest and anti-govt. activity is organized they shouldn't present any severe problem.
Mobs as mobs are a threat to property, but organized mobs are another matter. Organized means PLANNED and Led. Neighborhood watch and govt. PC Police won't be much help against that. A lot of people simply don't like Morsi and the boyz .

And what do you suppose the actual Police on strike will be doing...sitting on their butts at home with the TV ? No, they will be part of the action anyway. They will "get involved".

The Police themselves are now a factor in the civil unrest, they will be part of the action. And they will be organized and planning things on their own.
" PC Militias" better watch their back.

#3 Redneck,

I have a bad feeling about this one...could turn into another version of the drug gang wars...hometown militias versus narcoterrorists...

I don't know whether to go light a candle at the chapel or buy more popcorn.
