To be clear, my vision of a "national police force" is to unify the existing law enforcement agencies which are already enforcing US federal law. I do not want and did not mean to suggest that US police forces _replace_ local police (thereby the US federal government would then need to enforce all local laws, including traffic citations and misdemeanors). I can see how the discussion would diverge from what I envisioned due to the ambiguous nature of how I described it.
