I think we should keep police as police, but start a new agency something like peace proctors or something. Phase out ready acces guns for the police, they can be in an eclctonicly locked box in their trunk as a last resort. Then make their only priority issueing tickets.
Have the new units patrol and respond to dangeous situations but not allow them to issue tickets. I feel with the correct training to defuse problems and being held accountable to the new creed of keeping the peace would do some good. Of course some police will try to switch to maintain their rage hard ons of power, but when they pull the same shit charge them with derelict of duty and fire them with fines or jail time depending on what they done.
