In the US, it would probably be enough to state-ise them, rather than nationalise them (and far easier constitutionally). The key thing is to remove the authority of tiny local government leaders over the police.
Oh, and stop electing sheriffs and judges.
- seanw444 3y agoIs this supposed to be a joke? Haven't read such an authoritarian comment in a while.
- SkipperCat 3y agoI think what he means is that anyone can be elected a local sheriff and because of that, you wind up with sheriffs who have no education or training in law enforcement. Often their lack of knowledge of the law creates situations where they violate other peoples rights.
- seanw444 3y agoThere will always be situations where someone violates someone else's rights. At least sheriffs are representative of the preference of the people. They can be regular people. I'll gladly take that over a police chief any day.
