So what you are saying is that we should not have cops at all?

Did anyone suggest that?

Here are some actual suggestions:

1. Let's have fewer cops per-capita than Communist Police State China. That would mean about half what we have now.

2. Let's have many fewer laws, and until we have many fewer laws, let's turn those laws on the narcs and functionaries that make their living by them, and their families.

3. Let's fire all the PDs, wholesale, that cannot bring their crime solution rates for violent and serious property crime up to acceptable levels.

4. Let's implement psychological testing and strict background screening for cops so we get only the ones that love the Constitution first, and not their own egos.

You want to reduce the size of the police departments along with the crime rates? It makes no sense.....the criminals would have a field day and people like myself would suffer.

It's obvious that you are never going to be happy with the police because you damn them if they do and you damn them if they don't.

Such a list indicates that you have no clue about the problems of law enforcement which is likely the result of having such an anti-cop bias.

1 Communist China doesn't screw around with such quaint notions as "rights" for suspects. So they don't need cops as much since their criminals are imprisoned or dead. Here judges let the criminals back on the streets with nothing more than a strong glare in their direction;

2 Societies don't evolve in the direction of fewer laws. Rather the opposite. It is an unstoppable dynamic due to the increasingly complex nature of society. Naivity does not make good policy or lead to understanding;

3 Police solve many crimes that never are punished because of venal judges and dumbassed juries. The vast majority of crimes are committed by a small percentage of people. They are repeatedly turned back out into the streets by the Judicial system. Cops know who the criminals are but are hamstrung by the Judges, idiot juries, professional cop-haters, and race-baiting rabble rousers;

4 Such things are already done and have been for yrs. However, their intent has been perverted by affirmative actions decrees, venal politicians and the low pay offered police officers. Most policemen support and defend the Constitution and the dumbasses who attack them using absurd ideas of what the document means.
