Under the direction of the 45th President of the USA, American police forces are engaged in a violent suppression of American people, pursuing what can only be called a white nationalist pogrom.

The official opposition, in the form of the Democratic Party and its elected members, are effectively sitting on their hands as the rule of law is dissolved into a slurry of baton-charges and indiscriminate use of anti-personnel weaponry.

2/
There's no excuse for this inaction. As @davidsirota writes, there are ten meaningful actions the Dems could take RIGHT NOW that would yield concrete, significant results, RIGHT NOW, for the people facing out-of-control, armed "peace officers."

Data scientist Samuel Sinyangwe (@samswey) is the cofounder of the police reform group Campaign Zero. In a spectacular thread from Oct 2019, he lays out the evidence for which interventions improve policing, and which ones are a waste of time/money.



1/
What doesn't work? Better training, implicit bias workshops, bodycams. These programs are uneven and the evidence doesn't support the idea that they reduce police violence.

Thankfully, there is evidence to support a list of low-cost, practical interventions that DO work.

2/
30 years' worth of research supports the idea that use-of-force policies reduce police violence.

If Trump and his cadre of mustache-twirling villains have a saving grace, it's that they lack administrative competence. A con-artist succeeds by running across the river on the backs of alligators, moving so quick that none of them can take a leg.

1/
A competent villain plays the long game, gets into the minutiae, buries the con in the fine-print. Their superpower isn't their fast-thinking gab, it's their ability to both endure and inflict boredom while they make out like bandits.

2/
But while trumpites like @stevenmnuchin1 are just gabby muggers, others, like his protege Justin Muzinich, are champions in the dull, detail oriented mass ripoffs.
