That's like saying we just need good politicians. It comes down to minimizing the possibility of corruption. State sanctioned and controlled police forces, having no connection the public, is the very opposite of that. The only "police" I want is the one that's Constitutional and elected by the people to work for the people. And that's Sheriffs.
The Constitution doesn't address local law enforcement. The concept of local police being answerable as directly as possible to their communities is a good start, but it's only a concept. The Constitution, in fact, is only a concept, and it's only as good as its current interpretation.
I've been trying to get some of the doe-eyed children here to understand what the police are and how they work, but it hasn't gone well. As the truck steers toward them, many prefer to complain that the front grill shouldn't be pointed toward them, rather than thinking about the driver.
Any constabulary is a direct reflection of its civilian command. Mayors and city councils are all elected, and they hold public meetings. How often are those meeting filled with angry patriots demanding an end to government overreach? How often do leftist douchenozzles run unopposed for those positions?
Our masters like having layers of more visible protection, whether it be Antifa/BLM, the police, or whatever else they can keep attention focused on. These are all tools and weapons, and too many of us are failing to focus on the hand that wields them.
This only works if patriots get involved and stay involved. What was the price of liberty, again?

Sorry, I should have worded it better as I meant that the Sheriff's are accountable to the Constitution (state level and US), not that something is written about it. But like you say, people have to be involved to make sure they stay accountable.
Okay, I dig. I would love to see Americans (if that word still means anything) start reconsidering what they want the police to be. Until they claim control, though, that's a moot point.

Unless they are corrupt then fuck them too.

The politicians aren't elected now either.
