All a police officer is is a regular citizen expected to perform the duties of a citizen in maintaining law and order on a full time basis, but the origin of their capabilities and authority were that all citizens had the right to make arrests and take prisoners to a Magistrate to be judged for their crimes against the citizens of a town
There is no need to establish formal authority for the citizenry to be recognized as arbiters of their own communities and the guardians of the natural rights of their fellow countrymen, as that authority is already granted by being a United States citizen.
The police are just a well regulated militia that’s 100% controlled by the government, which if you think about it completely goes against the whole point of a well regulated militia.
Disarm the police and reinstate the local militia. If the police need firepower to enforce the law they can call up some of the armed citizens as backup.
I am all for demilitarizing the cops, just as soon as we disarm the cartels, disband the gangs, and show ourselves capable of dispersing a riot with a bullhorn.
sooo.#DefundThePolice?!
No. Hang a politician.
If you want to get to the corrupt politicians you’ll have to get through the police first.
The citizenry are already police

Citizens could take care of all those problems ourselves, with our own guns, but the police don’t let us.
