I wouldn't care what uniform they wear or who they report to "IF" they were there for the sole purpose of protecting the American people from violent criminals but we can clearly see what that kind of police force under a Biden/ Progressive Democrat administration would look like. They would continue to release the most violent criminals time and time again because to academic elitist, putting people in jail is a failure of leadership, it's all the government's fault, not the criminal.
But, just like the most effective government is a government closest to the people, a police force closest to the people will probably be a better choice but not always.
If anybody is suggesting that a National Police force is less corruptible that a city police force, well.....
The Chief of Police in DC after the latest shooting caught on tape said something very profound, very interesting. He said "when we find these guys, they will not be strangers to us". That says it all.
Ask any Chief of Police in any city in America, who the violent criminals are and they can hand you a list with all their names on it but they have their hands tied because the elitist, the Gorge Soros's of this world, don't believe in incarceration. If there are criminals, it is societies fault and society must take the blame for "creating" these animals. Of course, I disagree. Without personal responsibility and being held to that personal responsibility no matter what life throws at you, you can't have a functioning society.
