re: #561 Obdicut

Why on earth do you trust whoever’s in charge of the police department to make smart decisions on that? That’s the part of your argument that makes zero sense.

The people in charge of the departments (the mayor for local pd and a Sheriff for county) are elected offices. The manner in which they handle their jobs is controlled directly by voters. That doesn’t mean it’s always the best person for the job but at least the majority of voters have their say in who/how the departments should be run.
