The only way the government can work to reduce charges of police violence is if they receive more oversight. Should the men with guns behind them be more directly under the men with votes behind them?

Yes, obviously. We should start by banning police unions.

Perhaps because of the danger of allowing politicians their own personal armies?

so you agree striking against the safety of the public should be banned, which means Reagan firing striking PATCO workers was good, and Walker doing the same thing in Wisconsin is also good.

Of course I don't believe that. If anything, cops need to go on strike more often.

The government has oversight over military/law enforcement by definition.  Military and law enforcement are the government at work. The question is who in the government has oversight and how does it operate.

Yeah, I don't really understand the question.  The military/law enforcement IS the govt.  If you don't like what they are doing, stop voting for the same people that keep sending them out to do those things.
