In the last few weeks many cities have passed laws to bring more transparency to police brutality.

This is a good step, but I am curious - how much are these laws enforceable? I was just reading that some Atlanta cops are not reporting to work - protest for the arrest of the cop who shot Rayshard Brooks. If that is the mentality, how much cooperation can we expect? Not talking about this particular NYC law, just in general.

Two thoughts. Fire the ones that refuse to comply. The unemployment rate is 15% right now. Second you have a law enforcement agency that is separate from the one with the problem enforce the rules. That could be a state police agency that polices the local police or a special investigative part of the government that ensures compliance.

You can't just hatch experienced law enforcement officers in a week (or a year). And putting inexperienced officers in early can make things far worse, from a police brutality perspective.

Beyond that, though, painting an entire profession as monsters is simply wrong.

Be careful what you wish for--it appears that an upswing in resignations is happening now.

"painting an entire profession as monsters is simply wrong."

Asking people to act to professional standards and holding them to those standards isn't painting them as monsters nor does it seem unreasonable.

No, it's not. But there is a lot of such painting going on, and you can't solve one evil by committing a second.
