And this is why we should privatize "normal patrol work" the same way we privatize the construction of sewers and many other municipal services. Look at private security like you'd find at any venue with tens of thousands of rowdy drunks. It has basically none of the problems that municipal policing does because the incentive structure isn't broken. The employers will readily fire non-performers or employees who are a lawsuit waiting to happen. The venues that hire the companies can find replacements if/when the companies fail to deliver what they're paid to. They also don't waste money on MRAPs. Imagine a private security officer wasting time on a vulgar bumper sticker let alone arresting someone. They'd get chewed out or maybe fired for exposing the employer to liability for an unlawful arrest. That just doesn't happen to government police. The broken incentives in policing cannot be fixed so long as they are getting their pay stubs on the same letterhead as the judges, DAs and city officials. They need to be kicked out of "the club" so that they can be properly scrutinized.
