Be specific, with reasoning (not just facts).
No, you gave examples of how other nation-states treat their police, with no supporting arguments or details as to how they compare or differ from organizations in the United States, how they contrast to the form of government of the US, or how adopting those practices would improve policing here. Big deal!

Of course this is just a simplified scenario, to illustrate the point.


Details can often be done by private security companies.

Please provide the data supporting this assertion.


And private security companies have no police authority outside of any special proprietary authority they may have been granted by the municipality. Although in Boston all special police commissions have been suspended as of July 1.
