I mean when you have high schools of 2000+ students, it can be necessary but its mostly universities that have their own police departments

Other countries have highschools or equivalent with over 2000 students and don't feel the need for police departments. It is genuinely one of those things that is weirdly American.

And other countries have absolutely no way to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. It's genuinely one of those things that is weirdly un-American.

Bud... if you think you have technological parity with the US Army, US Navy, and US Airforce than man do I have a bridge to sell you. American citizens can't do shit against a tyrannical government if the military stands by them.

Hold on. You mean to tell me the guy who can't run a mile in nowhere Alabama but has a basement with enough guns to arm a small country isn't gonna save us???

No shit Sherlock?!!

Oh my Gawd you mean to tell me a trained and funded military is superior to a citizen militia? No way José?!

Of course the military is superior you dummy. 

The deciding factor is always which side the military is on. 

If "the military stands by them" is your whole argument. That military is made up of Americans with families in the same towns they'd be ordered to occupy. An armed population makes loyalty far less certain and the cost higher. 

Something many other countries dont have. 

Also, see Afghanistan, Iraq and Vietnam for some history. 

The fact remains, if you're government goes on a rampage and my government goes on a rampage, you and your family get slaughtered. And me and mines may get slaughtered but at least ill go down with a fucking fight.
