I'm sure the pilot program will be a wild success:
From the article:
Criminals opened fire on at least 134 police officers during routine traffic stops from 2021 through 2023, federal data show. Now, an equity commission convened by the Biden-Harris administration wants to spend $20 million on a pilot program that would deploy unarmed cops to conduct traffic enforcement.
The Advisory Committee on Transportation Equity, an Obama-era body revived by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg last year, said in a report released this month that cops don’t need to carry guns or tasers with them when out on the streets enforcing traffic laws. The commission, whose membership includes an activist who once said cars perpetuate "systemic racism," urged the federal government to spend $20 million developing a pilot program to "test the use of non-lethal, perhaps non-police traffic enforcement."
