It's not nearly enough given their task.
It's barely a living wage (at least starting out).
There are open cop jobs now.
Would you be rehiring BETTER people under the current situation?

The problem is phrases like "the whole system needs revamped" is such a vague statement that I think wood and rusty are probably imagining two different things.
Oh, and break the police unions. I forgot that one.

1. New federal laws reducing police standards of force
2. Harsh & immediate legal/criminal penalties for violent police (including $ liability)
3. Federal oversight of all police depts
4. Change types of people police hire
5. Always on body cams
6.Eliminate police unions
The police reaction to all of this kind of seems like they are staging their own violent protest against having to protect minorities.

I think this might the accelerationists that have been lurking at the margins. First setting wildcat fires around Minneapolis, random gunfire into crowds. And now there’s a (coordinated?) spree of ramming cops down with cars in several places at nearly same time. pic.twitter.com/YnRGoUDTYE

Or he was in a place a shouldn't have been, or one of his fellow peaceful protesters launched a projectile in the air with unintended consequences, or just about anything else could have occurred besides a police officer shooting him point blank in the face with a tear gas canister. But whatever, man.....
With this many folks involved there is going to be crap that goes sideways.........
This video of Grand Rapids PD firing a tear gas canister at an unarmed man (right after they maced him) point blank to the face needs to VIRAL. what in the actual fuck are these pigs doing pic.twitter.com/rmgC7lA8Bj

I almost can’t believe what I’m seeing. POTUS just walked out the front door of the White House and into Lafayette Square - the epicenter of the DC protests - to visit historic St. John’s Church, which was set on fire last night. pic.twitter.com/XueoF2RC6z

When police are so pointedly permissive about looting, they mean to teach us a lesson: this is what happens when you insist that they, too, be bound by law.

Civil Rights Movement leaders spent months planning protests to create a crackdown that would be most visually horrifying to moderates on TV on Bloody Sunday, and Trump just gave it to these protesters for free after like a week. https://t.co/Ik7uezltrX

Recent preprint reporting that 24/24 (100%) people form Singapore infected by SARS-1 in 2003 have pre-existing T-cell immunity against #SARSCoV2, but more surprisingly 9/18 (50%) with no exposure to SARS-1 also possess T-cells targeting #SARSCoV2.

Splitting the Matt Hall stuff out, mocking journalists for covering the police going after journalists doesn't show what you think it does.
Journalists have covered war zones with more safety than is being provided on city streets in America. These tough guy cops can't even be as restrained as third world dictators. The CNN thing should have gotten even more coverage. Knowing what the MPD knew about what is going on in the city and in this country, they couldn't even be bothered to let two black journalists do their job, when there were white media members all over the rough ridin' place. How many black members of the press do you think those cops saw that day, in comparison to the white media members. It wasn't some coincidence that those two guys were the ones arrested.
The media are the only things providing the checks to the cops causing havoc and destruction. God knows the districts attorney won't rough ridin' do anything about these abusive cops. All we have are cameras and potential shame from being exposed.
What does change? We find a substantial increase in police killings of civilians over the medium to long run (likely after unions are established) with an additional 0.026 to 0.029 civilians killed in a county each year of whom the overwhelming majority are non-white.
