LOL, you want to hire foreign police to replace entire PDs in America? And how do you think Americans would feel about being policed by foreigners? Hell, what makes you think foreigners would want to police Americans? Please, name me one historical instance of this working, let alone having happened.
It would be one thing to take cues from European police forces to change the culture and tactics of American police forces, which I would totally support, but actually bringing foreign cops here to replace American cops? No way. Not a chance in hell that would work.
Australia does hire foreigners onto their forces.

Besides, history is a wild and wooly thing that isn't set in stone. Before FDR and the Great Depression, most Americans wouldn't have considered the possibility of huge socialist programs such as Social Security. Besides, if a civil war happens, what is "American" will be redefined, simply because the respective sides would have different ideologies. Before the War for Independence, many Americans considered themselves to be British.
Crack open any volume of "The Cartoon History of the Universe", and you will see something very apparent: Nations and their people change all the time. It is just for you and me, history looks slow, so we can't easily recognize changes when they are happening.
If we want to change America for the better, we must be willing to discard "traditional" thought. It is when we refuse to consider possibilities, that "tradition" decays into "stagnation".
