Maybe we could reorganize the police as a private enforcement group that wouldn't answer to the courts or constitution?

Sort of like the brownshirts before WWII. [1]

Edit: Youtube took down a video of them back in 2019. [2]

That sounds like it goes in the opposite direction, we need police to have MORE not LESS oversight and be under more scrutiny and actually get punished (probably 2-3x the sentence of a non-officer).
