These are all great suggestions, so great in fact they are already encoded in the policies of virtually every police department in the country. As I said before, the only problem with cameras is their exorbitant cost. If the taxpayers are willing to fund them, I’m willing to wear one. Also, again, the militarization of police is not actually a thing. Police do not have military grade weaponry. There are some that have small tanks, but they lack mounted weapons and, aside from parades and community service events, are only brought out when necessary. They serve as a means to safely transport police through areas where people are throwing Molotov cocktails, bricks, and bottles at us, or shooting at us (you know, the situations from where the ones who criticize “militarization” are running away). They actually save taxpayers a ton of money, since they can take much more abuse. It’s a lot cheaper than buying an entire new fleet of police cars that were destroyed by the aforementioned actions. If you’re comment about militarization is related to riot suppression, we’ll that’s actually one of our jobs too (though if you would like to take it from me I’d be thrilled).
