Yes. If [0] is a point of debate, we need to seriously reform the police system, and defunding/demilitarizing is a good starting point.

- sanguy 6y agoWe need a more authoritative police who are given authority to really police. This means use of force when needed without being thrown under the bus for doing so as a default response. What we really need is Judge Dredds or Robocops that can re-establish that "do bad things and bad things happen to you" that is no longer present in todays world.
- dredmorbius 6y agoPolice are not judges or executioners. Robocop, as initially specced, was the villain. It had an awakening, turned on its creators, and began .... well, serving justice, but still acting as judge and executioner.
