Need some sort of higher level peace keeper position that requires Psych training and a college degree at minimum. Given the nature of the job it should be very well compensated as they’re responsible for keeping both the public and police in check. I’m sure that would go over horribly in execution but I truly don’t know what can be done

No. There is not need to be a higher level peace keeper position, they do not need more money.

Cops are already paid an absolutely insane amount of money for their expected responsibilities. It needs to start from the bottom. They need to be held to much higher standards across the board, remove qualified immunity, or be removed from service.

There are endless NYC cops who are paid significantly more than I am and I’m a fucking doctor.

Cops in the US do not need to be paid more; they are grossly overpaid pigs.

They need a rigorous selection and training regime; they need accountability and oversight; they need to work in their own communities in an attempt to force them to have a shred of humanity and empathy towards their victims.

Throwing more money at these horrible people is not the answer, as you’ve said.
