1/ Incremental policy changes are not enough. There should be a national police academy with universal standards for policing everywhere. The training should be much longer than that it is now and should include non-violent conflict resolution techniques.
2/ We should return to community policing, and there should be far more mental health support for policemen (they too are traumatized and live in a constant state of low-grade panic). There should also be a national registry of bad cops so they can’t just move from town to town.
3/ But more than anything we should place the responsibility where it belongs: at the feet of politicians who for the sake of their own power have allowed so much societal despair to form, that it’s like a petrie dish out of which collective pathologies inevitably arise.

No abolish the police
No. That’s not the answer. Defund the Police.
