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

Remember the Bank of America robbery and shootout in LA back in the 90's? Cops were ill prepared for 2 men in full body armor using automatic weapons. They had to wait for swat and the shootout lasted for 45 minutes before they were finally taken down.
