There is definitely room for improvement (de-escalation) and less aggressive approach towards people who are not being aggressive (but may be playing dumb and other irksome attitudes). And also better understanding of “unstable” subjects —“oftentimes” the police shoot at provocation that doesn’t pose immediate harm [if someone waves a knife, back up 20 feet].
Also sentencing reforms are needed as well as more effort into rehabilitation and preparation to become contributing members of society for non violent felons.
On the other hand the issue is way over politicized and then you have opportunists who use this as an excuse to agitate and cause rioting and looting (as opposed to political protesting).
Moreover there is a coöpting of the movement by totally unaffected people (non-black non-poor whites) and its to the point in LA inner city “gangs” run off the middle class protesters/agitators because they don’t find affinity in them.
