What we need are peace officers, not police officers.

The former is appropriate for a free people, the latter for slaves.

Culture problems must be dealt with by ethical politicians.

Crime problems - arresting suspects for the Court System to deal with - is the job of police.

Police are NOT babysitters, social workers or politicians. They identify people who have possibly broken the law and they bring them to the attention of a court system. That’s it. And that’s plenty. They deserve our respect and our support.

The problem is America's police culture

IN the rest of the Anglosphere, police are trained to calm a situation: In the US they are trained to enforce compliance.
