You mean more funding for swat teams and heavier militarisation to defend themselves? Which is the only way such a move would be politically spun in this universe.

And this is the core of the problem!!!

Which doesn't work until we get to the point of all-out civil rebellion. The US has a heavily armed citizenry now and this is obviously happening. And drawing a weapon on a police officer will end badly no matter what the cop was doing. And that's not for entirely unreasonable reasons.

You're being downvoted you because what you propose is a self-defeating policy - those who gun down cops are enemy #1 and remove themselves from the equation pretty quickly.

> because what you propose is a self-defeating policy

Once again, I'm not proposing this. I'm answering a question with the honest logical conclusion that some peoples' worldviews take them to.

Of course, more guns does not bring that about but the willingness to kill and rebel against the government by a major part of the population.

... which leads more militarized policing.
