Explain to me WHY a community in a free country would be forced to have residential quotas? Tax cheating has nothing to do with this subject. Term limits for Supreme Court judges I can agree with, but that is for another subject. Other countries, especially tiny countries find practices that work for them. They also have different laws and different cultures of their own. We do not need to copy anyone else when we have the best in the world; always improving. I do not know where you will find the funding to provide three years of police training.
The only problem we have in law enforcement is how unions protect the few bad cops in this country. VERY FEW. And this is NOT a race thing. I sincerely believe there is a higher percentage of bag politicians than bad COPs. And the people choose the politicians with their votes.

I agreed with 1point (out of about 5)....The Police Unions are to heavily invested in protection of bad Police behavior at all costs. Solving that would be a good thread. The statement MY grandson did well at a charter schooland turned out wonderfully......is heavy on the MY and is an N of 1 young man and an N of 1 Charter school. I was talking "big picture". Public schools need help... NOT money and people running away to gated communities and picture-book schools. Of course, with those resources, those schools SHOULD be good. Need a long term study to see if better than gifted ed in public schools. 3 years of rookie police training would be paid by making the tax code fair as it was in the 1950s. Note: there was a REAL middle class from 1950 to 1975. That went away, to a large degree, by flattening the tax system. The statement that the US is the best at everything is very ethnocentric. Check the world list of countries. WE were best after WW2, NOT today. Today we are about 20th in UPWARD MOBILITY and 30th in many other gauges of QUALITY OF LIFE. Check it out, dare to do that! The US has turned its back on its own principles and the world judges and is laughing at us. Why would government have residential quotas? Because there is a problem. The US is burning! We need solutions, that was the point of the thread. I offered solutions. The government installed speedbumps to solve a problem. And speed limits. And the FDA. The government is the referee for solutions to help people. Obviously, people need help with racial justice.
