Yep, I have seen estimates there are around 600,000 Law Enforcement officers in the United States  - that will give you a per capita of about 500. Add in  park rangers, IRS agents, and our own military, and we have the Russians beat by a mile.

Hell, the department of Education and HUD are even arming up.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Don't forget SSA and all the rest of the alphabet agencies.
