We've tried to hold police accountable for murder. Charging them results in incidents like the entire police force rallying behind the one and just not doing their job anymore. And nearby police refusing to do their duty as well. This happened in Atlanta. You can't even bring charges against a cop, let alone make it to a trial, without horrendous outcry and mass refusal to do their job. https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/17/us/rayshard-brooks-atlanta-police-not-answering-calls/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/17/us/rayshard-brooks-atlanta-po...

Where I am we have many levels of public safety enforcement; I've heard that in the USA there's a lot less variety in policing? Ie, bylaws are enforced by armed and armoured officers who have full power to arrest. Is that true? It seems to me that dividing the forces would help to break their unified defensive behaviour.
