The reality is you have to have law enforcement. There are perverse incentives from traffic enforcement all the way through civil asset forfeiture and fucking prison headcount quotas, but the structure of laws and enforcement are how we have a society.

With that power comes responsibility, which is why abuses of power need to be treated extremely harshly.

And spend those big bucks on training instead of equipment. Good people make bad decisions when they're not prepared properly for a situation. Prepare them instead of arming them to the teeth.

Cops are not law enforcement outside traffic stops. The supreme court said the opposite, police have no responsibility to protect victims from crimes, full stop.
