Police brutality is in the headlines a lot recently because there are factions that benefit from it politically. When that's no longer true it'll drop out of the headlines regardless of what gets done.

I hope people who are sympathetic to doing something about it realize this. They don't have an unlimited amount of time to come up with reasonable proposals.

Correct, and fans of the Voting Rights Act should be there as a reminder that "rights" can be hard lost as they are hard won. There is no inevitably in humanity. The best we can expect is reproduction.
