Funny you mention that... one of the things that barely gets any mention in history books is how enthusiastically Europe's police forces collaborated with the Holocaust - the Vichy police literally rounded up Jewish people by the thousand to send off to the death camps without the Nazis even asking them to do so.

I honestly wonder how many police forces in the US got their start because of slavery.
It's actually somewhat difficult to tell which aspects of US policing wasn't born out of the slave patrol. I guess you could say that the Texas Rangers is an aspect that wasn't born out of it... it was born out of the need to commit pogroms and generalized genocide against Native Americans.
