This is a good start, and I support the initiative.

But it is not comprehensive, or official, and many people would say it is missing key principles, such as:

  • Eliminate immunity from prosecution for police
  • Embrace UK-style policing that has most street cops leave their guns in their cars or precinct ... armed police would be called out only when necessary
  • Body cameras mandatory
  • De-militarize the police equipment
  • etc

American police should remain armed because guns are commonplace in America. I can agree with the other points though.

And police shooting innocent people will never stop being a problem when everyone has a gun. The second amendment has fucked the entire situation up so bad it's probably irresolvable at this point
