Who would have guessed... the problem is that police and especially police unions became behemoths in themselves, effectively being ungovernable and unauditable. And you can't even change that because police can simply refuse to do their job without any repercussions and have done so multiple times [1].

Under the current set of rules, ACAB until proven otherwise. Police, in terms of the institution police, the theories behind policing, and its staff, need to be torn down completely and replaced by something entirely new, based on an actual legally defined purpose which was democratically decided and with clear metrics, transparency and accountability on all levels. No charlatans like Dave Grossman ("Killology") and his ilk should be allowed anywhere near a police precinct.
