It's time to take away badges and guns from any LEO who is not a sheriff or sheriff's deputy.Let the sheriffs handle the hard work.The police should help little old ladies cross the street and take the keys away from drunk drivers(not send them to jail).Protect and serve.We have let our local police forces become our prison guards.
In modern America the difference between a police officer and a deputy is semantic. Sheriff's deputies perform the exact same duties outside the city limits. I don't see any merit in your suggeston at all.
