It is clear that there are too many police departments around America with a culture of killing unarmed citizens. It is, therefore, too dangerous to wait until the next murder of an unarmed citizen before attempting reform.
The Executive Branch of the U.S. Government, through the Department of Justice, should undertake a historic effort to place every police department in America under consent decree at once. It is clear from the number of citizen deaths that we cannot fix just “the problem departments,” but must turn the page and enter a new chapter of policing the citizenry of the United States.
We will emerge from these consent decrees with the finest police forces in the world, trained to maintain law and order while protecting civil rights.
