That dude’s going straight home to beat his wife. Statistically.
Idea: Encourage police officers to marry the police union.

Here in Melbourne Australia, honestly, VicPol are fairly good and give us all a lot of leeway (they genuinely seem to want to keep us safe).
I know its not the same elsewhere though, but in general, the people here mainly complain about the police because
- The complainer is an asshole, or genuinely do a lot of dodgy stuff and deserve it. Generally Meth heads, or shitty disrespectful drivers
- The only other complaint I’ve seen is that they don’t solve someone’s problem (like recovering stolen bikes). But, that sometimes isn’t easy and can’t really blame VicPol

US police in the south were an outgrowth of slave catchers, US police in the north were an outgrowth of strike breakers – now we give them free military surplus equipment …
EDIT: Behind the Police to understand US “policing”
