Liberals trying to make the police work better, only to discover they can't, but they insist working within the system is the only reasonable choice. Maybe it'd better to defund the police and use the money for other means of social control if you want to work within the system. Abolish the police or at least keep the issue of abolition at the forefront as the goal. This being one part of a more general critique of the state would be my position even if it's "hopeless".
