Community Policing is effective and doesn't have the same issues. The problem with police is they aren't accountable, and often not even part of the community. They have no issue doing whatever the hell they want, because it won't come back to hurt them.

Community Policing is by regular people in the community, who work together to keep everyone safe. They're accountable and know/are known by everyone else in the community. If they do something bad, they're going to have consequences.

Policing is required, just not this kind.
