In no particular order

- People need to start taking accountability for their own actions. (i.e. you know if you're doing dirt, don't cry what you get caught and pretend you're the victim)

- LE needs to get out of the "we protect our own" mentality. If you're on duty and you see and fellow officer doing the wrong thing it needs to be called out and /or stopped right there. If any of the other 3 officers would have attempted to stop dickhead from kneeling on Floyd's neck this could have been a situation of the officer was in the wrong instead of the law enforcement system is in the wrong. And stop protecting officers that have multiple disciplinary write ups. (Especially for use of force write ups).

- Police chiefs need to be heal accountable for officers with multiple disciplinary write ups still working shifts with the public. (Starting with firing the Chief in Minneapolis.)

- The "Hands on" policies of every department in this country need to be seriously scrutinizes. No I'm not saying treat criminals with kid gloves. I'm saying take a deep look at "when" these methods are being used.

- LE has to come back down to Earth. "frick'em" is not a solution to this problem. I believe 80% of LE are trying to do the right thing every time they put on the uniform. They are being tarnished by the rest and are being held to the same accountability. At best most people see LEO's as someone they tolerate and try not to have to interact with. The image has to change whether or not the particular officer feel's like he/she has done anything wrong.

- As hard as it may be for some people. A fact of life is you are going to interact with LEO's. Especially if you are one of the ones that feel that laws are stupid and you should be allowed to live your life the way you want as long as "You feel" you are not hurting anyone else. 90% of the time you set the tone for these encounters. (Whether or not you can understand that.) If you choose to argue, curse out or otherwise fight with LEO's it's not going to go well for you.
