Back in the Victorian period, the rich realised it was cheaper to pay a bit more tax to keep the poor fed, than pay for security to stop them being robbed. It was also cheaper than locking them all up.
There are cops outside America too. Some of them are quite decent people, as well as good police officers.
America’s cop problem is fixable. It just requires Americans to fix it.
