This but for the police force.

Turn the police into something of a militia, 80% made of constituents from that jurisdiction, picked at random à la jury duty (exemptions apply)

As a European I think it's a great idea for USA to enter your proposed perpetual state of civil war

It's an interesting idea, but a proper police force should consist of trained and capable people (unlike the current states one!), of which random selection will necessarily create it so that many are not.

That is a terrible idea. You already see what happens when they’re “trained”.

this would absolutely turn into a "purge" rotating revenge. We just need the ability to hold our current police accountable when they break the law.

United Statians buy a gun at Walmart and already start wearing camouflage clothing, speaking using walkie talkie lingo, and listening to tactical entry AI generated podcasts.

Do you want to give them power and a badge?
