The sheer number of videos we've seen in the past week make it clear that the problem is not "a few bad apples." There are a lot of bad apples, in a lot of different cities. The problem is clearly deep and structural.

This is why I think a national-level “external affairs” org would be so useful-having a place other than social media or the local PD(?!) to report police misbehavior would likely reveal the true rate of that behavior, and reduce the risk of reporting.

Training. Cops out of cars walking beats. More funds into building community arms of depts. that actually go out and represent. Old fashion techniques. Cops living in the hoods they police. Dialog with community. Unions have sway over too much. Weed out corruption and silencing.

I hope so. Internal Affairs can make arrests and has access to PD-private stuff(personnel records, evidence, files on citizens, etc.). On the other hand, a national EA org could track offending cops across jurisdictions, and might have an easier time getting novel evidence.

There is a list of orgs at least somewhat similar to this here: https://fundersforjustice.org/organizations/ , but most of them seem not to be national, or not to be solely about reporting/prosecuting police misconduct.

Municipalities need to sell bonds to cover lawsuits from police brutality. Seems that a non-profit fund could buy these, take profits and redistribute them to the undeserved parts of the community, and as a creditor force changes like de-funding the police.

One trivial way is to create a charity fund that contributes to police departments budget linked inversely with number of deaths or whatever we want reduced. The larger the fund the larger the incentive to not do the thing. Capitalism demands pricing, morality sensationalism.
