That's a good start.
What concerns me is the lack of attention everyday policing problems get. It's an "ignore it and it will go away problem" at best, or it's an "it only applies to the poor, stupid, addicted people who can't control themselves, and have to be treated like animals anyway" non-problem, based on dehumanizing the victims.
Somehow we've decided that we don't care about accountable policing, almost certainly because no-one realizes how big of a problem it is, and that happens for a wide variety of reasons (#1 is that if you complain about the police in the US, 95% chance you'll get ignored, and 4% you'll get blamed, 1% chance anyone takes it seriously, and 1 in a 1000 chance anything at all happens.
