Elect me first and I’ll come up with some. But seriously, I get it, but it sucks, and it just reminds me of where we were back in the 80s and early 90s with the civil war that led to all the gangs. Lots of innocent people got thrown to the wolves then too in the name of safety.
I wonder what happens if the decree is ever pulled, do the cops who are no longer needed go unemployed and end up forming the new street gangs? Cause that’s how we got here now, when the war ended we had a bunch of guerrilla with PTSD and no future in a peaceful country, so they turned to banditry.
They could come up with some sort of plan to transition them to other jobs like public works or other state-operated services. At least there would be a lawful path for the honest people to follow.
Unfortunately, punishing innocent people is a price El Salvadorians have to pay for enabling gangbangers for so long.
The only alternative is that the gangbanging gets to continue, and get worse. Unless you can think of some better solution?

El Salvador barely has any public services to begin with. Installing some to keep kids off gangs etc would be nice but they don’t have the money
