A few years ago, I rolled my eyes when BLM was demanding that we defund the police. Now I’m starting to agree with them.

The past few months I’ve watched a lot of “first amendment auditors” on YouTube, and it’s now apparent that the vast majority of police are just “go along to get along”, and think they have FAR more authority than they actually do.

I’m thinking that the only police we really need are county Sheriffs. No FBI, no State Police, no local police departments.

If there is a large city in a Sheriff’s county, then the city can pay the Sheriff’s department for patrol and beat deputies to eliminate the PD.

County residents can vote to fund the Sheriff as they see fit, and the People have a direct way to redress grievances via the ballot box (assuming voting gets fixed, of course).

Currently there are several layers of bureaucracy between a citizen and the cop who is threatening to arrest him for filming in public, to the point where it’s very rare for any cop to ever really get punished for violating a citizen’s civil rights, thanks to “qualified immunity” and other pro-police policies.

What say you?
