1. Stagger it over time, fire EVERY single cop in America, EVERY single administrator and

until guns are completely gone, restrict union power for cops only, for the obvious reason.

Any union which represents employees who shoot and kill human beings as part of their job, has to be limited in power.

They always seem to use the power to protect murderers, that is the problem.

Anyway, fire them all but do it slowly so you can replace them all with better cops, local people, etc.

Maybe some who are now cops will be again, most wont.
