There are people upon this Earth that are not “Please and Thank You” type people. Sometimes the cops can’t BE there and the times they ARE there, they are under constraints themselves. they have to see, compute, and decide on life changing decisions in a split second. God bless ‘em. More money retains better talent. Cut picking up garbage but once a week and hire a friggin; ‘nother cop.
This is a dead on post (pun slightly intended). The answer to all this is better hiring practices and better training and retention coupled with better community relations to train the public at the same time. Of course this will take more money not defunding. You start cutting the budgets and I can guarantee that abuse and Civil Rights Violations claims will increase exponentially.
