    Go train the police then. Let me know if they listen to you. Let me know if it goes fairly. Afterwards face reality. This isn’t Europe. We already have a police force cult and nobody is stopping them without force. Maybe you’d be right if you were starting a brand new country somewhere without displacing any natives and kept a strong border to stop smugglers.

      What does getting into a shootout with police solve?

        That many fewer police. Works best if I can leave behind my reasons.

          You do know that there isn’t a finite number of police and if you kill a few, they will hire more, right?

            Maybe we’ll be left with an essence of what used to be if we dilute the crowd enough.

              Is this the homeopathic remedy to the police problem?

                I would actually suggest starting up a new force with a better name and dramatically more strict guidelines.

                  I don’t know that shooting at the current force is going to result in that happening.

                    You can always ask them nicely to step down.

            If everyone kept killing cops and suddenly nobody would want to be a cop.

            I also liked my bosses idea. Strap a paintball gun to a drone. Then every time a cop pulls someone over in this notorious speed trap you start shouting the cop with paintballs and fly away. Maybe then they’d find something more productive to do.

              So you’re going to start killing cops now, right? When’s your first shooting spree?

              I mean if that’s the solution, why haven’t you taken the initiative?

              Otherwise, this sure sounds like some armchair general talk.
