    I have a plan for how we drastically reduce police brutality and unchecked police violence in this country. Two huge Supreme Court cases must be challenged, though, for the plan to work. I wrote about them. 1. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/king-police-brutality-supreme-court-article-1.2747439 … 2. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/king-2-supreme-court-rulings-change-police-brutality-article-1.3269247 … Read them.

        Can I just be honest for a moment? Yes, this would be a start, but ultimately change won't come until we have diversity in ALL three branches of gov't. 90%+ white is NOT going to cut it going forward. We have to start replacing the white members of Congress w/minority members.

        I wish we could Disarm them. Can't tell you how many times while talking to a cop they put their hand on their gun in daylight when im unarmed. I've got white privileged, but, it still freaks me the f out. I've had cops draw guns on me too by mistake. One trigger pull away...

        I applaud your efforts but I have very little confidence in the courts changing anything as they are part of the very machine that ruins so many black and brown lives.

        At 10:07 today 21 Mar 18 a Russian Su34 aircraft dropped a bomb on a school in Kafr Batikh (near Saraqueb, Idlib). The children evacuated to a nearby underground shelter which was bombed in a second strike minutes later. 16 children were killed, together with 3 women and 1 man. pic.twitter.com/4XgNLA297K

        It's already extremely rare and it's likely as low as we can get it right now. Most of the stuff you think is brutality is just proper policing.

        These two cases are the crux of the problem. Authorizing deadly force with any semblance of "fear" can not be the legal standard. The job is hard and policing is dangerous, but we have to raise the bar and train differently. Won't happen without a change in laws. #policereform

        Trying to change the prongs/tests that the COURT has been firm on is Too Difficult and time consuming. Add DISQUALIFICATIONS to an officers immunity. If a person is acquitted they automatically have the right to sue, if bodycams/evidence tampered No Immunity Shot in Back..Charged
