Agreed. What little police presence we should EVER have is to have an ELECTED sheriff and his sworn deputies.
What cop defenders ignore is that the very situation of having police authority is corruptive at it’s fundamental level. Do away with ALL municipal police departments, and police unions (They should be subject to firing after each county election in any event). The entire system is corrupt, but once we start removing their rat holes to hide in to avoid accountability, and start executing them for murder, that will weed out those interested in getting a rush, from those who want to serve and protect.
Well Said!
