  When the East German police force was dissolved, its employees were allowed to apply for positions in the new police force (though without a guarantee of a position). Except for those with ties to the Stasi, who were barred. There is precedent for such an approach, and at least in that case it seems to have largely worked.

    was this preceded by mass social and economic unrest and presided over by a government half the population views as illegitimate? good governance can bring the country back together, crackdowns, purges and retaliation will create the monster that you think is already there.

  If the goal is to deradicalize then getting the radicals out of the police force seems like a great starting point, no?
