What policy changes do people think would help?

Stop giving them military weapons/vehicles is step 1. We can't arm those that are responsible for policing ourselves like those we send to fight the enemy.
Investigations of police officers committing crimes needs to be handled by an independent body.
We also need to come down harder on cops that stand by and watch other cops commit crimes. 3 cops could have stopped what happened in Minneapolis and chose not to.
