I have a feeling this will be an unpopular position, but ultimately, I don't think the solution will be to prosecute more of the bad actors (although I do think that should happen).
The author seems to think that the "system" either can't be changed or that any changes that could happen won't improve things. I disagree. Here are some things I think could improve things by changing the system:
1. Reduce the scope of what we consider "criminal" behavior.
2. Stop/reverse the escalating militarization of police forces
3. Involve police officers more in the community.
There are plenty of other things that can change the nature of the relationship between police officers and the citizens of their communities.
