Why is there no legal/law or law enforcement category in the debate options?

I just found this debate site and like it so far, but I am curious as to why there is no law enforcement or legal/law section for debates?

Seeing as there is a big push on the left to argue cops are bad and the law is racist, it would be a great section to debate under.

There should be like an Intelligent Design board or something. The evolution debates were interesting back in the day. There's contention there, but the religion board is a bunch of uninteresting spambots basically. Shit gets lost, I dunno. Science should be left Science, but we could draw the lunatics out of the religion board for a bit of a fight.

What does your religious rant have to do with what I proposed as the topic of this discussion? 
Answer: NOTHING!

Awesome #sophomoric banal retort. God. Please troll somewhere else. 

Unlike you, I am seeking a true emotional and intellectually intelligent discussion here.

Lack of demand. You are the first one in a few years I have seen to request such a thing. We can actually add or remove topics from the MEEPs, it is just that we haven’t even asked ourselves to add such a thing yet.

It would probably fit under Society and/or Politics.

Propose a legal/law enforcement debate and someone will debate you, should they wish to do so.

Category is largely irrelevant.

Categorising is for those that enjoy categorising.

Miscellaneous will do.

There really should be such a category in my opinion.

If policing doesn't make a person racist, they are probably too dumb to be in law enforcement.

I wouldn't mind debating you about why police are still stupid enough to use lie detector tests despite the fact they are completely inaccurate and useless.

I don't blame them for using polygraphs to get idiots who don't know they are pseudoscience to confess, but they literally base hiring decisions off of polygraph results and are dumb enough to dismiss people as suspects for passing a polygraph or to recategorize somebody as a suspect for failing one. 

The debate would have to be a live format though.

It makes them more cynical, not racists. 

And I have no interest in debating about polygraphs, as I agree with you.
