I’ve got problems with bad police behavior as well but that doesn’t mean I need to join the worst of the worst to try to fix it.

Agreed. It's hard to change things locally when the feds give them unnecessary military equipment and irrational laws that ends up fostering an unhealthy relationship with civilians.

Like most every other problem, get the feds out of the equation and the people have more of a chance of turning things around.

State and local governments should be the ones to levy taxes. It puts control back in the hands of the people.
