(edit) Would someone please ship some counterfeit money through there and get it confiscated, so the police can then be investigated for spending counterfeit money?

No I know that. But you have to get X amount of people to be willing to do something. It so happens that amount is almost always enough to also enforce reforms and oversight on the police. Making violence unnecessary and counter productive.

Tbh, I think it takes far fewer to kill them all. That said, we gotta have some kind of public safety system to replace them anyhow, so we may as well just whip them into shape.

Nah, if you don't have that level of buy in then all you've done is start a war and divided everyone. You're forgetting that they get to recruit new people too. You need enough buy in that they couldn't replace their losses. Which is generally going to be a super majority.
