Look to the elected officials and the appointed of the courts, for one’s answer. The Police are as frustrated as the public, if one would like to hear the truth. No Police Officer writes the laws, nor does the General Public write the laws, only those holding office (elected) or the courts.
Whatever route the citizens take, it is long past time to light a fire. If the flames start with their local law enforcement, so be it. Start low, and watch the flames go higher. I am of course, not advocating criminal action.
