What else won't change is the need for them to be out there dealing with the ever growing percentage of the population that are total scum. Cops aren't social workers, they are armed for a reason. Let every cop go on strike and you'll find that reason pretty quickly.

Not to mention it is, unfortunately, one of those jobs where you can't really know how someone is going to react until they are in the moment. You can put them through training and simulations, but that isn't a real situation. Sadly, for some, we find out too late that they are not the type of person that can handle the job and the make a poor choice or react in a bad way to situation.
