I think many places will pass comprehensive police reform in the next few years. I think it will show that firing the worst, most violent officers decreases use of force drastically.

I think we'll find that having an unarmed non uniformed first responder that specializes in mental health crisis response reduces use of force and realized better outcomes for everyone.

Reducing the use of swat teams for warent service and taking away some of the extreme weaponry might make a difference.

Police probably don't need to use tear gas.

I think think the future of law enforcement in the U.S. look sunny, it's just going to take a bunch of busted heads and gassed kids to get there.

I hope so. I think it is the probable outcome.
