Do you support group vigilantes in supporting and enforcing the law of that of countries in replacement or alongside the police force and other civil authorities?

No, absolutely not and you have no reason to do so. Mainly because the police uses of violence is only acceptable because it has been giving a legitimity by the government and/or the people. A vigilante militia has no such legitimity.

While a lot of police forces are worthy of criticism, and that's coming from someone living in a country in which the police actually took part in the Holocaust, giving "ordinary citizens" the right to enforce order without any sort of training or knowledges of laws surrounding the proper exercice of said police work is not going to make things better.

If you want to improve the police in, let's say, France to pick a place I know well, what you would need to do is to recruit additional personnel... and raise the standards of formation of even your basic policeman and I do not mean they need to be all sharpshooter : they however need to know what they can and cannot do, how to deal with someone having a mental breakdown instead of gunning them down.
