Serious people already know this and unserious people will never accept this.
I would love police to integrate and help in the community more.
They do have an important job, but ultimately I don’t think you can prevent crime by punishment alone.
Also they need a lot of accountability because they have special privileges. All of our government does.
everything in that article is a lie with zero evidence to back up anything.

this is proof that more police reduce the crime rate.
@nutpantz I agree every citizen should be given a badge, a gun and sworn in as police officers.
Thus reducing crime to 0%.
Crime rate is zero if everyone has qualified immunity! Hooray!
