Who Really Owns the Monopoly on Force?

from My Weird Prompts

Political scientists say the state holds a monopoly on legitimate force — but the US has an army and a police force. How do both fit under one monopoly? We unpack the Posse Comitatus Act, the Insurrection Act, and how courts arbitrate the boundary when the line blurs. Plus, how Israel's very different arrangement shows the separation is a choice, not a logical necessity. Episode #758165 — open it directly at myweirdprompts.com/758165
