Genuine question...

What would it take to align police incentives (compensation, etc) with the outcomes we want? Reforming the unions? Better local politicians?

De-militarizing the police seems like a great step, but it seems like trying to cut off a mindset that is already entrenched.

Unions are tied to pensions. Pensions are tied to politics. You’d have to create a greater economic force then tens or hundreds of billions of dollar pension funds.
