Also get rid of the police Union as it currently is because apparently it is a major reason for a lot of the systemic issues being faced.
I have no problem with unions per-se, but when police officers break rules, they need to be held accountable and that simply doesn’t happen most of the time because of the unions and even when held accountable, it’s a slap on the hand and worst case, work in the city next door.
You’ve also got to demilitarise the police. End 1033 and claw back every iota of military gear. End killology training. Fund social workers to replace many of their duties. Etc etc etc too many things to name. It’s so bad that anything approaching adequate reform sounds insanely radical
This is it IMHO, as long as the problems pile up (or get made up) and don’t get solved by police, they’re allowed to spend more and more public money on armored vehicles and other crap that doesn’t help the community. This spending is what allows them to be both incompetent and wasteful or downright dangerous. “Follow the money”; who earns from all this?

Fully agree in that too.
US police forces are a goant fucking mess, but it’s been this way for like a century. I’ve read way too much shit that already happened in the 1900s

Whenever the opposite of “poor, powerless minorities” is. It’s a mystery I guess
