private prisons, & of course, a military grade armed police. We don’t need police to have assault rifles pointed at protestors or readily armed as if going to war. Police unions in addition, let officers who are excessively using force or murdering people run free & get out...

Some want to disband police departments which still wouldn’t do away with police, just put it in the community more and hire specific people who are more than officers & are reflective of their communities rather than armed strangers. They might be mental health providers...
