    A policing force that were not fundamentally corrupt in the way police are, would necessarily be an all new organisation with all new people, and it would not be called the police. Abolish the police and replace them with something better.

      If the new police, whatever you want to call them, have the power to enforce laws then they will be subject to all the same pressures as current police. Power corrupts!

      The fact remains though is that there’s a very large number of people in the US who want the police to commit the violence they have. They’re voting for the politicians who pass these laws.
