    No need to end police unions, just negotiate the contracts better. Police should have to pay a portion of lawsuits that their actions cost the city. That might make them think before they cream some person they are arresting or pulled over. Perhaps they can carry liability insurance. They should pay for their illegal actions. I read about one Detroit cop that had 5 million dollar plus payouts for the city.

    You don't have decks in coracles. Humanity is dying, as you know, murdered by capitalism.
