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.

There's also the issue of qualified immunity which makes this significantly harder than it should be.

Yes because law enforcement fail to do their job, properly. They’re also part of the increase in crime rate, issue. Look what happened 4 years ago with George Floyd. It was disgusting!	20.00%	2	20.00%
No because then everyone would break the law thinking they can do whatever they want. Drunk drivers, murderers, Karens, and bank robbers would be out of control. Who’s going to stop them?	50.00%	5	50.00%
I think the police should be defunded for other reasons.	10.00%	1	10.00%
I don’t think the police should be defunded for other reasons.	0%	0	0%
I'm pretty neutral on this subject. It may or may not be a good idea to me, Idk.	20.00%	2	20.00%
Total		10 vote(s)	100%
