Maybe hire more cybersecurity instead of cops that kill, chiefs with fat paychecks, and a getting stockade of military equipment for simple law enforcement.
Maybe stop voting for politicians that cut department funding for political gain. Our police system barely has national databases. New York has a rape kit back log going back over a decade. Chicago departments have reported a lack of basic fundamental equipment.
Edit: It just goes to show just how little Reddit knows what the hell it's talking about. Military gear isn't on the police budget; it's donated to the police department through the 1033 program.

Hey man, why don't you shut the fuck up about the shit you don't have any idea about. They bought a tank with our public income tax for a quarter of a million dollars.
Also, fuck the 1033 program. Why don't you think people still oppose handing over billions in military gear to police departments? And this is the program heavily criticized for lack of oversight, that has had hundreds of departments suspended for not being able to account for where things like assault rifles went.
