[snipped a lot of good reasons]

How about this not getting rid of cops. Make patrol and beat cops mostly
women. Make SWAT and other paramilitary cops mostly men. When a woman beat
cop radios for backup for a situation she can't handle, only then do the
testoterone laden assholes with assault rifles show up. Kind of like primary
care versus a specialist.

We could probably do this relatively easily by offering signing bonuses for
women veterans, martial artists, combat sports athletes etc.

Just a thought.

Stuart all of that assumes there is some objective way to tell the
difference between "men" and "women."  There was once thought to be such a
criterion, but that has been debunked.  Our gender is now fluid, it is
whatever we say it is, and can change without surgery.  I would still claim
whatever gender is necessary at the time to collect the sign-on bonus of
course.  It's nothing personal, just business.

People who advocate for disbanding police forces and emptying prisons have
never visited a prison (oy vey, mercy.)  If the constables decide to make a
living some other way, we will miss them.  Those who do not have guns will
miss them even more.
