      My colleague @germanrlopez wrote about ideas for police reform and I’d like to add to his list here.https://www.vox.com/2020/6/1/21277013/police-reform-policies-systemic-racism-george-floyd …

      1. End qualified immunity. 2. Curtail the power of police unions And here’s the toughest one: 3. We probably need fewer laws, in general.

          We currently have a crisis of simultaneous over-policing and under-policing. I’ve written on this subject before:https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/03/opinion/jaywalking-while-black-jacksonville-florida.html …

          There are a host of laws on the books in cities and localities across the country that are enforced unequally, depending on who is breaking them. And keep in mind that laws should be passed with the understanding that the state can (and may) enforce those laws with violence.

          (This is why the “just don’t break the law” canard is such a canard. Until February of this year, for example, “sex between unmarried people” was technically illegal in the state of Virginia. https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title18.2/chapter8/section18.2-344/ …)

          (We should also end civil asset forfeiture, a thing I still cannot believe is a thing)
