Policing in America needs to do over from the top down. Overzealous chases for a lousy ticket to fill the coffers, over aggressive actions against ordinary citizens for common crimes. But of course nobody cares nothing will be done.
Small town village department should be dissolved, and merge with the sheriff department. Complete waste of taxpayers money. Studies show that crime has actually gone down in most areas where this took place.
The only thing I have a problem with are tasers, they can cause cardiac and other problems and should be banned. At the very least, the public should be able to access them as long as cops can, can’t have a one-way street here.
I am all for village and town PD’s with small populations with hardly any crime being dissolved. Paying people to fill coffers is stupid. The taxpayers can save money and the funds can go towards meaningful causes.
