I come from a country where private security is very common. Used to be ubiquitous until people started getting beaten up because the employer said so.
So the police force just got funded enough to be bigger than all of the private companies. They are now the biggest private security service provider (yes, for profit company, separate from public police but run by the state, full of ex-police/military). It's quite ridiculous tbh.
If you're rich, you're untouchable, while poor people eat dirt in prison even if they're not guilty. Not that different from the US.
Incidentally, our military is full of used American equipment. Great value, maybe a bit too much for a country that wouldn't last a week in a war with any neighbour.
