Courts need to be stricter and give harsher sentences when it is determined that someone in a position of power has done something illegal, they have power so they should use it responsibly and be given a more severe punishment if they do something wrong.
It's not gonna magically solve every issue people have, but it's something that really needs to happen to make the bad eggs more responsible.
In terms of this specific idea I am not too familiar on it either way, but what are they gonna get replaced by? If they're getting replaced by Police 2 then the same issue is gonna happen if the courts don't change as stated above.
Agreed. The court system has a lot of power, and I think what happens often is that when issues are brought to their attention, they either figure out a way to dismiss it entirely, or they side with the wrong people. Have you ever noticed that a lot of these criminals are being released from jail, early? These guys are murderers. I'm not saying for good behavior, but because they're doing this on purpose for a reason. They don't want regular law enforcement getting involved.
I think they're getting replaced by the military and FBI agents, so I've been told. Large tanks patrolling the streets would be an abysmal outcome.

When a cop kills an innocent person, they make the news. But you never hear about the cops who do the right thing.
Chances are, most police officers are doing their jobs well. We just hear too much about the bad ones.
If this is the case, then defunding the police would do far more harm than good.
Ultimately, I think it's all about control. They want us to think that all cops are bad guys so that they can bring in FBI agents and military enforcement to replace them. Notice how the George Floyd incident made the news, quickly. A lot of factors come to mind when considering law enforcement. Lack of training is a big concern, not to mention 911 doesn't even show up on time. If they showed us a bunch of videos where the good cops of integrity were doing the right thing, then we wouldn't buy into some of this stuff as much.
This is what I've heard: Step 1: Give the criminals light punishments for major crimes, then let them out of jail a few days after. Step 2: Defund the police. Step 3: Take our guns away. It's just awful, man. I can't imagine all three of these things happening at all.
