One of the major problems with police in the U.S. is actually that they are trained and paid too little. Most forces require about a semester of training, which consists mostly of when and how to use force. If there was more and better training and better pay, we might get better cops too.

I'd be willing to pay more as a taxpayer for that (rather than just more poorly trained and paid cops and urban assault vehicles).
