The USA has more imprisoned people per capita than any other nation on earth. This mass incarceration problem can only be solved by policing the police with federal legislation....
China has a population of ~1 billion people with ~1 million incarcerated; while the USA has a population of ~300 million, with over ~2 million behind bars, & ~4 million on probation or parole. -Van Jones

Lack of accountability for SRO's, traumatized & abused children, & tarnished futures have heeded the call for this to happen for years. The education system is to prepare youth for a future which shouldn't include a felony record for minor disobedience...
as too often happens.
Police don't belong in schools. Most school resource officers have little to NO training in social & behavioral sciences.

With 75 convictions overturned so far, is this the police department & states attorney office you want in charge of holding police in Chicago schools accountable? We need independent oversight of ALL misconduct, a national registry,
no immunity from charges for police officers, & no police in schools!

Tear gas is a chemical weapon that is banned in warfare by the Geneva Convention. Before a photo op in front of a church, President Trump 'cleared the road' with military police using tear gas on peaceful protesters while giving a speech on National TV. Peaceful protesters were being shoved, trampled, tear gassed, & cornered by military police with flash bangs thrown at their feet while he spoke of being the 'President of Law & Order' & discussed looting.

Trump's speech fanned the flames of anger, rather than addressing the underlying issues
of police brutality & cops getting special treatment in our criminal justice system.
He gave no words of wisdom.
Other police brutality instances have been receiving attention
at the numerous protests for justice reform:

Reform measures have recently been introduced in cities, states, & at the federal level,
including the Ending Qualified Immunity Act. Police have been given a get out of jail for free card
& it has made it difficult to hold them accountable for their misconduct.

Policy solutions have been in the works for years, but only recently have the measures been not only considered, but began implementation. A couple of them below have their critics, but are considered blueprints for
legislative solutions to police violence and misconduct.
legislative solutions to police violence and misconduct.
Militarized police along with lack of justice for victims of police misconduct is the perfect storm for disaster. Some feel that there is no hope to reform police, and that defunding the police is the only solution-
by reallocation of their funding for useful social programs for the community.
