These recent events have really highlighted to me the fact that police lack accountability. It all folds into a bigger picture of policing (civil forfeiture, no knock warrent-less raids, etc) and a contentious history of policing minorities. Just in the past few weeks I've seen so many instances of inappropriate escalation in force, all from police officers loaded up in armor, against unarmed people [1][2]. I know policing is hard, but I expect much more from people we give the power of state-sanctioned violence to.
