Policing

The government monopoly on the sanctioned use of force has numerous dramatic advantages and inherent problems, the main issue being its tendency to be politicized, manipulated, and corrupted by outside influences.​

A self-reinforcing cycle of asking too much of an impossibly unprepared group and politicizing their successes and failures has resulted in a police force that has lost their original purpose. We want to invest heavily in an entirely modernized police force that prioritizes protecting all human life - including their own lives - over all types of property crime.
