Reducing the police department's scope may be a good call. I just don't think it will have the effect that people are hoping it will have - stopping police brutality. It's similar to how some people thought going to war with Iraq would be retribution for 9/11. But the Iraq War just caused more problems. Dealing with the problem directly was a lot more effective (going after the people responsible for 9/11 - Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda). If people want fewer police, that's one thing. But if people want to end police brutality, I think we should take that on directly.
