The second was in New York City in 1845, again decades after slavery was outlawed. Southern slave patrols are only the "roots" of American policing if you intentionally ignore all the ways that it really isn't.And it isnt the roots of American policing if you ignore everything before 1838. https://plsonline.eku.edu/insidelook/brief-history-slavery-and-origins-american-policing Unless you think law enforcement in America didn't exist at all prior to then, in which case I really dont know what to tell you --- A hunter is a hunter...even in a dream ...
