Based on the behavior of many police departments in the US, I wouldn't put as much faith in your assumption of political control. From the "Blue Flu" to how many departments behaved both during the BLM protests and during COVID, police departments wield an amazing amount of control over their own TTP and who they seek to control.

Right but that behavior is driven (either earnestly or not) by safety concerns for the cops.

Lets remove that concern, no excuses left.

Safety concerns? Ha!

Cops would have you believe that LEO is the most dangerous job in America, but it's not even in the top 10.

Some cops may be afraid of getting shot, but consider that for every cop killed, cops kill roughly 21 citizens.

Copaganda has made everyone think that crime is terrible, cops are underpaid, overworked, and going into combat every time they report for work.

I literally said “earnestly or not”. It doesn’t really matter what the underlying truth is, it’s an excuse, let’s remove it.

No more SWAT teams needed if it’s just robots doing tracking and catching.

We've already had a swat team use a robot to kill someone using a small explosive charge. Maybe let's not head right to Cyberdyne before we address institutional issues in law enforcement before we get even more droids asking us for our papers etc.
