The police are a tool. If our governments who control the police are freedom lovers, give the cops all they need. If the governments become tyrants, as they are becoming now as we see with "The Great Reset", take their tools of oppression away. But then, of course, that's when such governments use their tools the most, isn't it?

Police should be redirected from traffic tickets (fundraising) to actually walking the streets and being more visible in the community. Some funds can be redirected to crisis workers for non-violent situations.
