1/ A fraction of work done by police require guns & the use of brute force. Vast majority of it would better be done by social workers, non-violent communicators and citizen patrols. We should stop mocking such ideas as ridiculous and instead start asking how to make them happen.

2/ Police training today, in addition to being ridiculously short compared to other countries, involves no real peace-keeping skills. Our police need to schooled in the ways of soul force & in a much different kind of brute force. They need to be actual "keepers of the peace."

3/ For so much less money than we now spend on police, we could create conditions that prevent societal pathology in the first place. This is why, domestically and internationally, America needs a Department of Peace. Ideas once deemed silly are now recognized as urgently needed.

I agree, I attended a talk in Dublin where Kathleen O'Toole, former Seattle Chief of Police said 80% of her staff's time was taken up with mental health and drug issues.

Lack of economic opportunity breeds resentment for many. It leaves people pointing fingers, angry and blaming. Economic hardship directly contributes to the hate and anger. End Economic Hardship and Poverty the pay off is no more crime or disease and the associated costs.
