Only about 10% of cops should carry guns ON THEIR BODY. the rest should be required to keep them in their cars, and the federal government should implement strict gun laws a la New York/Cali. Difference is it should be ok to have them in the house, but there is no excuse to have one in public/ off your property.
America has wasted a lot of money on the Department of Defense, and their excuse for that waste of money was giving all of these police departments excess military munitions.
Police should only police the communities they live in, and should have to complete a course on social justice that is as rigorous as their physical training.
We cannot rely on the powers that be to fix our problems. They profit off of our problems. We have to advocate for this and force the issue.
