Excellent thinking Adrian, well done, me lad.

 

Relieve them of enforcing drug law?  That is a good start.

 

Good chance police departments will be defunded in plenty of places, whether they wanted that or not.  In the places were businesses were burned, the city revenue will be way down.  So they will be defunding police departments anyway.  So… they must find ways to relieve them of some of their duties.
