What is your understanding of what the police are supposed to do and how would outfit them for the job?

Well I would say get them out of the drug war for starters. Of course this specific case it doesn't really apply at all if he was brandishing a gun. Probably not the best thread for me to tespond with my comments. Was a spur of the moment thing. But that's it in a nutshell. Get rid of policing the drug war, get rid of property confiscation, get rid of police forces generating revenue on traffic fines. That sort of a thing. Stop arresting people for ticky tack stuff and let more people off with a warning like they did in the old days.

Of course, none of this will happen due to politics and money.
