> "The reality is we need fewer, higher paid police with an extremely high barrier to entry" Fewer may not necessarily be the answer. The US doesn't have a huge number of police compared to other places and crime doesn't somehow disappear if you have fewer police. For example, France has 429 per million, the US has 238. Austria has 314, Netherlands 295. The US is 101 out of 146 of the countries listed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_number_of_police_officers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependen...
