The only place I've felt police brutality is on my wallet.
We probably spend about $40B on police (not counting federal LEOs) each year.
If most of that spending is in big cities, and most of it is going to corrupt cops, it is one of the largest areas of public spending that could be reformed.
Want to cut your property tax bill in half? Support home schooling and police reform. Everything else in municipal budgets is, in relative terms, small potatoes.
Effective, non-corrupt PDs would also yield huge benefits in making cities liveable, especially for the poor.
