Agree. This is why top priority (in a perfect world) should be to redo the entire police department. Most of all - keep safe out there!

I guess--what I'm getting at is relying on human enforcement of other humans (especially considering the deeply flawed nature of policing and public distrust ) is not always the best choice for getting better outcomes.

Especially with police, who have been given tons of responsibilities that they probably aren't capable of carrying out. Leave crime investigation and smaller-scale conflicts to them, and find other ways of deterring other bad behaviors.
