Why aren't we safer? The US is looking more like a Police State with all of the police agencies?

Question

In a lot of our cities and states there are:
city police
sheriffs and deputies
state troopers
low income housing authority police
Amtrak police
Metro police ( subway and light rails systems)
Postal Serice police
FBI
Airport police ( TSB )
Department Of Transportation police
Port Authority police
Toll Facility police
HazMat enforcement police
Military police ( on area bases)
Store security police

Have I missed any?

Answer 1

How about actual soldiers at airports and Department of Homeland Security?

As to why we are not safer, you don't become safe by filling your cities with armed officers. You make yourself safe by adressing the problems that make things unsafe.

Answer 2

Npe...that about sums it up for the most part. Did we include DEA, ATF, Air marshalls and federal marshalls?

Anyway...alot of agencies because there are alot of people and area to cover. Military police because they enforce military law. In the military and get pinched you come under civil law.

we're safer than we were before but you never can be 100% safe. It's not a police state either. Not unless you start getting beat in the street for peaceful protests, beat at the polls to keep you away or tossed into jail for no reason. Now that's a police state.

Answer 3

University Police.

Answer 4

There are a lot of police, but they're just not up to the job. While there is a decrease in crime in the areas they patrol, there are areas in my city where police don't patrol because they're afraid of being shot. That's where most of the crime comes from. In respectable areas crime is low and the legions of police patrol regularly; the statistics come from the poverty-stricken, crime-ridden areas. It's unfortunate to say, but it's true. And I don't know if there's anything that can be done...

Answer 5
