> Train citizens to drive robot surveillance drones, do paperwork

Aka hire more cops. A cop in the US is just a citizen with 3-6 months of tactical and paperwork training.

What I am trying to describe is a very different kind of organization of policing agency and your response is to repeat old semantics, and conclude then it’s not that new?

You posted five sentences. Three of them are mostly just vague conglomerations of charged symbology. Did you expect an entire treatise in response...?

Anyways, the point remains: the difference between a police officer and a civilian is a small amount of training and a whole lot of in-group politics. Not sure how hiring different people solves either problem.
