One thing that always bothers me about policing in general is how militaristic it is, and how so many jurisdictions have their officers looking like special forces wherever they go.

The British model, in my mind, is much, much better.  Put them in silly hats, yellow checkered vests and make sure they understand they are public servants above anything else, rather than bad-ass enforcers.  Too many cops (especially in bigger cities) are meat-head idiots looking for trouble.


Because police (in the U.S. but the attitude is everywhere) are taught to view themselves more like an occupying force than part of the community they serve.
