I really don't think you can call the CHAZ thing a model for police stand-downs, either - that was a literal mob rule situation, not any kind of planned or controlled process, not even an experimental one. Even then, though, you didn't see anonymous camo-clad snatch gangs roaming the streets like some third world insurgency, nor was the whole area reduced to flaming rubble by lawless anarchists. Definitely not something to allow to repeat, but hardly as bad as some would predict, or as seen in other places and times.
