Focusing on accountability and consequence for lawbreakers within the system: To advance racial justice and police accountability, we need to prioritize greater accountability and consequence for lawbreakers, including police officers, through measures like banning certain tactics, creating a national registry, and implementing a national use of force standard.
In order to move forward in addressing racial justice and holding police accountable, we need to focus on greater accountability and consequence for lawbreakers within the system, including police officers. This can be achieved through measures such as banning certain tactics, creating a national registry of officers who break the law, and implementing a national standard for use of force. Additionally, reimagining public safety by investing in education, access to capital, and high rates of homeownership can contribute to a healthy and productive society. It's important to remember that accountability and consequence should be applied to all individuals, regardless of their role in the system. The use of reasonable force is not enough, and the more fair and just question to ask is whether the use of force was necessary.
