Biden should appoint a Presidential Commission on Recreating Law Enforcement. It should consist not just of “police experts” but of regular citizens, sociologists & social workers. And it should be actionable. We have to start thinking this way; we can’t just “reform” what is.

Yes he should but I'm pretty sure he's inclined to take the opposite approach

Biden has already committed to giving police MORE money, not refunding them. I've asked this of you before but you refused to answer so I'll try again. Exactly what leverage do you envision having to push biden left AFTER giving him what he's coveted for 40+ years?

Accountability would be a good start for anything our government does.

include ex-cons as well. if the focus is reform, take feedback from people who have been through the system. find out what the system currently lacks and work on those.

I have always wondered why in America we have police in the schools instead of more teachers or a counselor. But than I remember this is a 3rd world militarized industrial complex run country. $.53 of government every dollar goes to military/police. The empire is falling.

We must do this! A team of therapists should also create a mental health curriculum for all kids aged 5-18. Kids need to be taught in schools about how to effectively communicate, know & verbalize their feelings, resolve conflict peacefully, etc. We must attack this at the root.
Good luck, in the past Biden let the police write his crime bill. Sure, he says he’s in favor of reform now, but what a politician says and what they do, very different. So I’m not expecting much from him.

It is long past time for task forces & commissions that accomplish nothing. It is time for real action.

Seems like every politician at a national level doesn't even grasp the fact that the cops are a publicly funded white supremacist gang. Can't really create a "good" version of that.
