You should go look at the ratio between administrative costs and actual beat cop salaries. The rising cost of college and the rising cost of law enforcement/defense suffers from a similar decay of middle men leaches just creating fees.

Also as a note, theres not a lot of correlation between an increase and violence and reduced weapons policy, its almost driven by some secondary macro trend.

While bringing attention to the challenges of policing may be important armed drones are not the hill to die on. Cops may need support from prosecutors and they may need better equipment to deal with gangs, but they never need armed drones.

The police can still carry guns. Their drones cannot.

Literally, none of this is true.

> Now they can't carry weapons.

Is this accurate? I haven’t read the full text of the law but I thought it meant no weaponized drones.

i am anti the current chicago status quo and agree the policies are dumb. but all this does is prohibit surveillance and weapons via drone. which i both support.

the answer is some amount of improved traditional policing (necessary evil) and arming all the non-gang people to the teeth bc the gang ones are already armed
