For example, no would like to see a domestic violence unit. You call 911 with a complaint about a domestic disturbance, it gets routed to this group. These people are trained in deescalation, help for DV and sexual assault victims, etc. They don't need guns for this job

A traffic department takes over traffic enforcement. They know traffic law forwards and backwards. They don't need guns for this job An agency that specialize in addiction and mental health crises

And yes, am agency for violent crime. This force will need to be armed, but it must be wholly reconstituted to break with the institutional culture of the current police. They will never be asked to interact with less serious crimes or matters

I don't want lawlessness. I want law enforcement that ACTUALLY protects and serves

There will obviously need to be a transition period
