    Why are so many people convinced the Police we have are the only ones we COULD have?

    We don’t want NO Police

    We want BETTER Police

      Ive repeated this argument so many times.

      1. They need to have a FEDERAL licence to provide law enforcement. So you cant just move when you get in trouble.

      2. Each officer needs to carry their own “malpractice” insurance so the city/state doesnt have a financial interest in ignoring bad behavior.

      3. Make “Abuse of the public trust” a federal felony. Officer making bad judgement calls in the heat of the moment is one thing but calculated corruption should be a federal offence.

        You know… I’m a big fan of some of the wild lefty stuff OP is posting, but I also endorse all of this! Those are some great ideas.

        Frankly, I don’t hate cops. I don’t like the system (and I’m not a big fan of the individuals who participate in it), but if someone is willing to be agree to operate with this kind of accountability, I’m willing to give them a chance.
