Judo chop debate aside, why would you take a tool out of the toolbox? It provides another option.
The issues really stem from training and attitude. That means participating locally and making sure you vote for a competent sheriff and other competent local leaders. If there's an issue with your local LEO agency then address it before it becomes a problem. That will solve 90% of the news stories.
For example, I have a pretty good opinion of my local LEOs based on interactions and some that I know personally. I'll make sure to vote for the right ones and voice any concerns with them. Most of these guys are pretty reasonable if people would just talk to them directly.
