It's because of how much power Police Unions have. And something called Qualified Immunity which makes cops virtually unaccountable no matter what they do. American cops only have like 6 months training and then are given power over life and death

In Germany I think it's multiple years of training to be a police officer. It's insane that America doesn't see a problem here

You're increasing barriers to entry

keep in mind, being a cop here now means being under the microscope. A lot of cities are having a problem with filling open positions.

So you can either

1) have inadequate officers
2) have no officers if you increase barriers to entry

While there's a sizable "defund the police" movement, I personally am a fan of having police. A semblance of law and order is better in my opinion than anarchy.

it's a broken system for sure but no one here is exactly coming up with realistic solutions, so....
