Let's reform the police.

How would you do it?

A few things I'd do:

[list]
[*]Police settlements come out of the police pension fund
[*]Police required to carry insurance similar to Doctors
[*]Social workers accompany police on every call
[*]Body cameras on all police
[*]If police turn off body cameras unjustifiably, they're are immediately terminated for tampering with evidence and prosecuted
[/list]

Let me be the first to applaud in not making yet another silly bait thread, good job, you can be taught 👆

Only issue I have is with #3, seems like a waste to have one around for every call. A social worker should be there only on certain calls, like a domestic disturbance, when they know a child is involved or someone with a mental health issue etc. No need to have a SW when checking a burglary alarm call.

Yeah I agree with Rob. Think they're all good ideas, 3 needs a bit of work and should only be on some calls. Realy like #1, actually.

In a perfect world, I would also pay police way, way more than they are currently paid, but also make it much more difficult to become a cop. Requiring years of training, both physical and mental.
