Train citizens to drive robot non-lethal surveillance drones, do paperwork, cut funding for rage prone meat bag policing.

Maintain minimum required force of trigger happies for all the shooting scenarios.

Our secular society isn’t anymore sacrosanct than religious based choices. It should be readily reorganize-able as logistics demand.

Optimizing for 24/7 status quo politics, profit margin optimizing and rent extraction “or else the world ends” is not so different from forcing unfalsifiable magic down our throats.



> Train citizens to drive robot surveillance drones, do paperwork

Aka hire more cops. A cop in the US is just a citizen with 3-6 months of tactical and paperwork training.


What I am trying to describe is a very different kind of organization of policing agency and your response is to repeat old semantics, and conclude then it’s not that new?


You posted five sentences. Three of them are mostly just vague conglomerations of charged symbology. Did you expect an entire treatise in response...?

Anyways, the point remains: the difference between a police officer and a civilian is a small amount of training and a whole lot of in-group politics. Not sure how hiring different people solves either problem.
