After the summer of 2020, there were calls to demilitarize the police that were, in my opinion, better rhetoric and policy than defund the police.
It extends further than your local PD having an MRAP and a SWAT team. It extends to the Border Patrol. Focusing on the racist roots of CBP misses the point. By making CBP a militarized agency within DHS, you created incentives to hire Rambo wannabes and racists. Turning the agency into one that does humanitarian work while still enforcing immigration laws would be a huge improvement.
