It's well past time for requiring cops to purchase liability insurance just like doctors. As it is, they have no incentive to stop abusing their power.

Take it out of their pensions, and then they will start self enforcing. Untill then. Yearly pysch and bias evals.

An excellent idea as well.

The thing that will make them think twice is to Actually Prosecute actions like these as they would anyone else. Ex: Murder - Life in prison. Cops don't do well in prison.

White supremacist judges, prosecutors, and jury selected will never convict. As long as Grand Juries exist, they won't even get a trial. See: Eric Garner Oh yeah see: Botham Jean

And see: John Crawford and Tamir Rice

Especially Tamir Rice.

The story of Tamir Rice hurts to the core along with many others of course..

This is how America has always been. Always.

Most who reflexively support police don't even watch these, & those that do go into the experience w such powerful confirmation bias that they either assume reason for the shooting occurred out of frame or before footage begins, or that these incidents are 1/million events

Personally I would like to do something about this I just don’t know what I’m supposed to do

I’m not a trained officer or former military but am I mistaken to think that the overall way US police are trained is just wrong? When this happens over and over and over, can we really keep saying it was justified to shoot an unarmed man?

It's not an issue of training. It's the lack of care, apathy, or respect for P.O.C.. Time and again, we see white suspects taken into custody after committing violent acts- while armed- without an officer firing a shot. They are all fully capable of doing so, just choose not to.

And training, 6 weeks is not long enough to work with the public, especially with weapons

It takes longer training to serve tables at the cheesecake factory or PF changs than to become a Police officer in a lot of these depts.
