re: This problem affects us all. PDs need accountability. Remember Daniel Shaver.

Like you said, it affects us all. If the BLM movement is what ends up causing changes to be made, I'm all for it.

Agreed.

I've gotten a lot of shite about minimizing the BLM movement with this post, which is why I've edited the post title. That wasn't my intention and I actually support most what the BLM movement represents. But, the point I was really trying to make is Police reform is an issue that should be separate from the BLM movement, as it doesn't just affect blacks, it affects ALL Americans. It's something I don't see how all America can't get behind in force, and quickly.

While I agree with statements like this, what reforms would fix the Shaver case? He was tried by a jury of his peers like the law requires and found not guilty.

What changes fix that? A rework of the judicial system? If we are unhappy with a jury's result, we put people on trial until we get the desired outcome? I don't understand the tangible changes that fix something like this.
