There’s literally nothing wrong with police being accountable to the citizens they’re ostensibly responsible to.

In fact there’s a long and storied history of citizen oversight boards ensuring police are transparent and accountable. Policing the police actually happens everywhere and in many communities.

I have no idea why you think secret police “honors democracy”. What does that even mean?
