&gt;Fixing the US police system would mean completely overhauling training, procedure, rules of engagement, screening, fitness reviews, equipment, etc, etc. **And doing that would take time, resources and money.**

Police forces in the US get *much more* money than the much more effective police in Sweden, just as one example.

It seems to me like maybe the issue isn’t only the *quantity* of money going towards the police, but also the fact that they spend tens of millions every year buying surplus APCs and tactical gear from our bloated military industrial complex.

blame the MIC and the lobbists yes, but in Kentucky at least the police get armored cars and other legit military hardware passed down to them for the ceremonial price of $1.00 per vehicle, $1.00 per set of dual tube NV, so thats not where the money is going. we also had the multiple instances of state police training materials directly quoting Hitler
