Police are local/municipal, not federal. We, and the Constitution, are able a small FEDERAL government, with the majority of control ceded to the States and local towns/cities.

Right, sounds good. Imagine being able to select your police force? For your HOA/neighborhood or just you as an individual? You can look up their stats, see how thoroughly they're trained in deescalation, firearms qualification (lots of police forces only qualify ONCE a year), first aid, various psychological exams, etc.

Actual ACCOUNTABILITY.

I doubt there would be any real accountability. This will just be a swap-out of unaccountable public police chiefs and officers for even-more-unaccountable for-profit private police companies , still paid for by tax payers, and under the control of the same Democrat politicians.

Just RoboCop, without the cool tech.

So same thing as we have now? Not to mention the for profit prison industrial complex.
