Well, first off, when the courts are able to hold people individually accountable for their actions, they behave better. One of the reasons that police officers can't be held accountable is qualified immunity. If you don't know why it's problematic, basically it prevents people from being held accountable for their actions by dismissing cases unless they are identical to past cases... and since cases are dismissed before trial, there is regularly no case law to compare cases too. You can write your elected representatives at the federal level and encourage them to end qualified immunity, thus allowing people to sue individuals when their rights are violated. You can write your state level elected representatives and encourage them to provide a right of action under state law against law enforcement to end qualified immunity. You can contact your local (city, county) representatives and encourage them to rewrite contracts with law enforcement such that law enforcement members who are found to have acted innappropriately face financial penalties, can be fired, etc, and those who have done so in other jurisdictions are not eligible for hiring locally. You can, if you favor more bold choices, also explore ideas around which government programs are priorities, and giving more money to social support programs, homelessness prevention etc, so that people don't need to interact with law enforcement, and less to law enforcement.
