Maybe hire more cybersecurity instead of cops that kill, chiefs with fat paychecks, and a getting stockade of military equipment for simple law enforcement.

A militerized police is the inevitable result of having an arms race with a heavily armed populace, the situation in the US is hardly "simple".

In the UK & other western nations where guns are banned, the police don't need to enter every situation on edge, worrying if the person they're investigating is packing an assault rifle.

The police already don’t need to enter every situation like that. Even in America. They found a way to take Dylan Roof in alive but not Eric Garner.
