I agree with posts 1 and 2. Unfortunately the cops are often too much about us vs them. Their reputations have been harmed by publicity of their over-reactions and concern about their safety instead of public safety.
We have about 50% too many police. We’d be better off putting the savings to paying down debt. Americans need to be encouraged to take care of themselves and not depend on a police force that will rarely ever be there when needed, except to collect evidence after the fact.

Spoken like a true government centralizer.
The number of police that are on my local police is a matter that is between my local police and the local citizens of my locality.
Hands off Obama and you.
