It sounds bad to people who still associate the police with making things safer. Weirdly, lots of (especially white) people still do even after watching them start riots and rough up protesters all over the country.
We need a public safety system, including, at times, ones with guns. But we're applying the wrong solution a lot of the time and we need to change that.
