We should have another elected official responsible for bringing charges against police, separate from the prosecutors.

We have that in Aotearoa. I thing England does too.

It is a help, better than the police investigating themselves.

But class issues really come into play. The investigators are all lawyers and have never lived the sort of life where they are bullied by the police, and they have no idea of the dynamics.

We can always do better, in this case we are doing better than we were but it is still quite bad

in the US that's the District Attorney or Attorney General, i think, but forget which is which.

District Attorney is the local prosecutor.

Attorney General is the state prosecutor, and the boss of the DA.
