It sounds ridiculous, I agree. But part of me can't think that some kind of massive reform of the police might help in the long run but I'm basing that solely on it working in the Northern Ireland peace process where the Royal Ulster Constabulary - hated and not trusted by the Republican/Catholic population - was disbanded and replaced by the new Police Service of Northern Ireland.
Didn't really change how one side of the community views the rozzers mate, and it was the same people/different uniform on day 1.
