Gosh, I don’t know. Maybe lowering the standard for hiring police from whatever this is is a bad idea. I know it’s tough to find recruits right now. But maybe, just maybe, there’s a way to hire better people.
Of course, I am referring to one of my bugbears, disarm most police. Think of the pool of people who might want to be a cop but who don’t want to carry. Maybe some of them are security guards now and don’t want to make that leap.
It would also probably make policing better. Fewer deadly interactions. Probably make some civilians less nervous around the police.
