Make unjustified and unnecessary police brutality and discrimination a crime.
I want the police system to be improved. I know that there are hundreds of great officers out there but the ones that are brutal or unnecessarily violent shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it and I think it being a law instead of a violation of conduct would reduce the number of cases.
I think the government should do something about it because it is their country too and people turn to the government in a time when they want to see change, which is very relevant at this moment in time.
