My sincere wish is that Police would regain the trust of the people that pay the bills. A little mutual cooperation would go a long way towards taming the jungle as it were.
However, as long as Law Enforcement is determined to be perpetually angry, violent, and useless the ability of the Police to interact with the public is hindered. That’s not good for anyone.
I wonder if the police are even truly needed any longer.
Carry any weapon you need for protection and use it. Cops are not charged with preventing crime, they are there to investigate.
