How about a federal oversight committee on police accountability? I don’t know dude it’s not my job to run your clearly broken country, I’m just spitballin’ here but you are delusional if you think simply firing and charging them is going to fix the fundamental issues at play that caused this.

The problems run pretty deep and are systemic, cultural. I don’t know how closely you follow US politics, but on the national level, there is about 50% of Congress that most assuredly isn’t going to going support anything substantive. Realistically, state and local solutions are likely to be more effective, but it’s going to be slow. Getting widespread uptake of body cams is an example— I believe that has made a difference but it’s not a game changer. Would love any insights on solutions from Canada (not that you guys have ever had the same degree of police violence, but maybe there are things that are done in Canada that prevent this.)

Part of the difference is we do have a federal police force that is also commissioned by the military…in other words a professional police force
