> Congress has abducted their responsibility
Because it's happy with that state of affairs, and you keep voting them in.
> There is recourse at the state level.
No, there isn't. Not at the state level, nor at a more local level. We're at a point where even municipalities aren't able to rein in their police departments!

Seems like there's been fairly significant changes and individual officers are being held accountable. I'm genuinely curious if you have examples. I believe you can more easily push change at the local level. Our federal government is a monstrous, unstoppable force.
