    I honestly wonder how many police forces in the US got their start because of slavery.

      It’s actually somewhat difficult to tell which aspects of US policing wasn’t born out of the slave patrol. I guess you could say that the Texas Rangers is an aspect that wasn’t born out of it… it was born out of the need to commit pogroms and generalized genocide against Native Americans.
