And anyway your line about "restorative justice alone won't work" is dumb because literally no one is saying restorative justice is the only thing we should do.
OK, let's say that's true: who gives a s**t? The point you continue to ignore is that 90% of of what cops today has f**k all to do with "stopping people with guns" and can be offloaded to other services better equipped to do them. it's weird that you have such a dim view of cops and yet have completely internalized their propaganda about the role they play in our society.
I'm fine with offloading some tasks to people without guns. I'm just saying that sometimes guys with guns are needed.
And how do you wave a magic wand and make an institution that has walled itself off from oversight and accountability suddenly better? Because any politician that threatened to fire the cops would soon find themselves out of a job. Or dead.
I think we voters have to insist mayors and city councilors keep them accountable. Break the unions, or whatever needs to be done. We probably agree more than we disagree on this.
