The US already has vastly more law-enforcement and incarceration than any nation needs. US law enforcement is over equipped with arms and technology already. We need many fewer, but more academically qualified and much better trained law-enforcement.

Almost every European country has a higher ratio of police officers to citizens than the USA. We actually have 50% fewer officers per person than europe.

		The nordics and England have a lower ratio, while Italy and most of Eastern Europe is lousy with cops. Lots of European cops are unarmed and low paid. Police in the US are also hideously expensive.

		In theory it should. In practice, we're funding thick neck thugs with retrograde ideas about race and sexuality to go around intimidating people when they disrespect those thick neck thugs.

As long as they serve fascist governments they can suffer. Trust is earned not handed over at gunpoint
