I agree with posts 1 and 2. Unfortunately the cops are often too much about us vs them. Their reputations have been harmed by publicity of their over-reactions and concern about their safety instead of public safety. We have about 50% too many police. We’d be better off putting the savings to paying down debt. Americans need to be encouraged to take care of themselves and not depend on a police force that will rarely ever be there when needed, except to collect evidence after the fact.
Actually, I would assert that cutting two thirds of law enforcement, primarily at the federal and state level would get us where we need to be.
Overall county enforcement has the least frequent over staffing. And the most accountability.
