“Police should stop strangling people” is a pretty basic starting point... 
US leaders should #REJECT8CantWait.
This is no time for minor fixes.
The US needs meaningful change to ensure police are held to account & reduce the police footprint, investing saved resources into services to address structural racism.

“The #8CantWait policing program is so superficial as to be meaningless. It allows mayors and police chiefs to say they’re doing something without actually making the changes that are needed.” - @JRaphling @hrw
Police in the US get away with brutality all the time.
They commit acts of violence, on camera, and then get supported by their colleagues, their unions & even the US president.
And it’s brutality on the taxpayer’s dime.
No wonder more & more are calling to #DefundThePolice
