RebYidd23: Militias are always paid. And they tend to be quite expensive. That’s a feature not a bug. If you don’t pay people, you are limited to rich dudes doing something as a hobby. Very few people would undertake dangerous work without being compensated.
If you feel a need for more police, you are free to vote for a government that hires more police, and taxes the citizens to pay for it. In a democracy, that is for the people to choose. It should be noted that the ethnic group most victimized by crime, and most likely to be victims of crime, are African Americans, who in general do not favor increased spending on police.
