We certainly need a police force to maintain a level of civilization in a large enough society.

But of course, the problem is different: what KIND of policing we need, and how do we provide accountability. Quis custodiet custodes? [0]

edit: note that the "ipsos" part of the sentence in the wikipedia link is correct, but can be largely omitted. I studied Latin at school (loved it) and this happens frequently with Latin quotations.

I'm a little bit confused by your statement that the ipsos is both a correct quotation but can also be omitted. Is there some translation issue wherein the "ipsos" might or might not be part of the original poem?
