I really don't think liberals are against such an idea any more than conservatives, but pretty sure for the most part "conservatives" won't even acknowledge the problem unless it is beyond blatant. You're making up strawmen. Liberals are for all sorts of creative government. Conservatives are either remove it or privatize it so someone can exploit it.
Conservatives haven't approached this subject because they want the support of police departments, and if they attempt to weaken the police union, they will receive huge pushback. So Republicans don't want to approach it this way.
Democrats haven't approached the subject because it doesn't solve the issue via identity politics. Their narrative has long been that black people are under attack by the police. They would never be okay with the solution simply being non-race-based police reform. It would invalidate their loud rhetoric on the matter for the past 6 years.
I'm presenting what appears to be the best solution, and at the very least, will help reduce police brutality.
Whether either party is willing to have the balls to go there remains to be seen.
I'm on record right now saying I'll support it, even if it's the Democrats ultimately proposing the solution (provided it's not bundled with some other crap which will cause more problems).
