>That's literally how it used to be, sheriff would investigate/act as agent of the court. Then when needed they would call up a posse.
That's still how it is in most of the US. Only cities have cops. County sheriffs handle 90% of the policing.

Rural America mostly handles its own protection. Mostly.

BLM and Antifa threatened to go into rural areas and burn white people's houses. They would have been stupid to try that.
