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.

		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.
