The militarization of the police leads to a natural process of roving gangs who think they can get away with anything.

I would love for the average citizen to start to recognize this, but I'm somewhat cynical. After Uvalde I feel like nothing can break the default American :bootlicker: attitude towards cops. I want to be wrong though, and I think the thing you describe is the only way it's going to happen. Otherwise libs will just insist on more woman, queer, POC etc cops as if diversity will solve these problems.
