Thanks! Ending cash bail is a good one. I'm not so well versed on private prisons, but I think I'm general the scale of incarceration is a larger issue than the quality of it. Still a good suggestion for discussion.

We have 10x more incarcerated per capital than germany. If the police think 1 in 100 (rounding a bit) belong in jail, it leads to a very different quality of interaction if it is 1 in 1,000.

Definitely agree on the issues with accountability.

I think another simple one is simply that police officers cannot be formally afforded any due process differences than other citizens of their jurisdiction.

I just stumbled across this today:

They seem like sensible policy positions for reducing violence and misconduct by police.
