Ya, I don’t understand what the alternative is supposed to be. It was declining into lawlessness because police forces refused to do their jobs.

If the problem is that the police aren't doing their jobs, then maybe you should fire them and get some cops that will. And then the new cops can solve the problem. That's pretty obvious, isn't it?

You don't get to break the rules because you're unwilling to hire people to do their jobs.

The police are under provincial (and city) control.
