If we want to remove something from the cops’ duty list, the drug enforcement thing is good, but an even better one to remove is domestic disturbance.  Cops will tell you those are the scariest most unpleasant calls they must respond to: they don’t know which is the bad guy, they don’t know if they will survive that call.  My bride’s great great grandfather was slain in the line of duty on a domestic disturbance call.  

 

If we take away just one distasteful task from the force, I would suggest that one.  Domestic abuse call, the dispatcher says “Pal you married her, now if she kills you, well, adios amigo.”

 

I agree with Dan and Adrian, we could refocus the scope of police work, without vilifying them to the point they just walk away.  If the cops just quit, they will be like the girl in this video: we will miss them when they are gone:
