This abuse of power is the direct result of the militarization of our police force.

I say we take away their guns.

If a suspect is brandishing a firearm, they can call in a separate unit allowed to carry weapons.

Also, no more riot gear. The police can’t be trusted with it. Let the national guard have it, but train them for emergency response, not hunting down crooks.

If you can't trust the police with guns or riot gear then what is the point of them. If all they are reduced to are official naggers then they will end up having to call the actual police (the people who are allowed to have guns and riot gear) and the actual police will end up doing what the current police do. A better solution would be to provide better training and enforcement of police behavior.
