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.

And we aren’t currently community policing? Are cops somewhere in Nevada piloting robot cops? Get real, we have community policing. Issue is that they don’t respect there community. #reformthepolice #notdefund

Law Enforcement must deal with the effects of greed and indifference on a daily basis. They suffer because of poverty also. Poverty is the cause of disease and crime. What is the cause of poverty? What would we tell people from another planet like Q ?

"community policing" is a meaningless warm/fuzzy copaganda label that describes exactly what we've had for the last 3 decades

This just sounds like more money for police to me. Defund their asses and disband the unions so they can fire bad cops. There fixed it for you.
