Proud Boys are reminding us why we need Militias. Because if the police are compromised, how can citizens defend themselves?

They did a great job today protecting patriots while the so called protectors of the peace stood by.

I believe we had constables. Also Sheriffs are recorded in the 1660s in America. They usually only acted on court issued warrants like a modern constable I believe.

For instance, this article mentions North Carolina Sheriffs being established in 1662.

The municipal police forces are a much more modern invention, that is what most people refer to when they say they didn't exist until the 1800s, I believe.

Correct. It’s also the reason that Sheriffs operate at the top of their own command structure.
