Finally, the more specific we can make demands for criminal justice and police reform, the harder it will be for elected officials to just offer lip service to the cause and then fall back into business as usual once protests have gone away. The content of that reform agenda will be different for various communities. A big city may need one set of reforms; a rural community may need another. Some agencies will require wholesale rehabilitation; others should make minor improvements. Every law enforcement agency should have clear policies, including an independent body that conducts investigations of alleged misconduct. Tailoring reforms for each community will require local activists and organizations to do their research and educate fellow citizens in their community on what strategies work best.

Libral gobbledygook.

Trump has a more direct, one-size-fits-all proposition--DOMINATE THE STREETS with MILITARY POWER!  

INCREASE PENALTIES! Smack'em down!

And if you’re interested in taking concrete action, we’ve also created a dedicated site at the Obama Foundation to aggregate and direct you to useful resources and organizations who’ve been fighting the good fight at the local and national levels for years.

LOL that toolkit was given the Trump transition team. 

Somebody must have fished it out of the wastebasket on Feb. 21, 2017.
