most part taken that choice away from them. The result seems likely to be less police abuse than at any point since at least the early 20th century in the US.
This is not directed at you personally, but I wish people would stop using the fucking Orwellian double-speak term 'police abuse' in place of the more accurate 'police crime'. What we have is a certain class of people committing serious CRIMES, not 'abuse'. These crimes includes murder, attempted murder, manslaughter, assault, vehicular assault, battery, false arrest, perjury, etc, all while wearing special costumes called 'uniforms' and getting a paycheck from some government agency. As far as I'm concerned, using the term 'police abuse' is a neuro-linguistic programming tactic designed to make people subconsciously downplay the seriousness of these crimes.
