ETA: when I say nothing has been done to change it, I should have said "this problem still exists and has not been fixed." Lots of us have been working hard on #policeAccountability and I don't mean to diminish that.
There are reasons it is the way it is, including the basis of policing (protecting white comfort) and the active efforts of white supremacists to infiltrate police departments.
Also, the police shouldn't be killing anyone, they manage to bring white mass shooters in alive all the time. We should not regard "not killing" as a heroic effort on their part.
Police In California Aren't Immune From Certain Misconduct Lawsuits, High Court Rules — The state Supreme Court says police can be sued for misconduct during investigations.

The #JusticeDepartment has released its investigation into the #Minneapolis #police following the 2020 murder of #GeorgeFloyd by police. That investigation sets the stage for a federal reform program for the police there.

If you're in #Austin, tomorrow begins #earlyVoting on dueling ballot measures on #policeAccountability. Prop A is the one you want. Prop B is a decoy.

Here's a data visualization project I worked on a while ago about police violence.
To show that there are real people behind these numbers, the names of the victims' names are shown at the borders of the chart.

If, as seems likely, it's #TPS officer Karl Giedroyc who's circulating intimate images of me, he should go to JAIL
The charges:
-break-and-entry
-voyeurism
-impersonation
-criminal harassment
-obstruction of justice
-conspiracy

Thanks, Texas Safety for failure of the basic duties and not learning anything from the past year of complete failure and intransigent dereliction of duty. Tax money wasted, Y'all

Of course the actions of police were tragically wrong. Anyone following the various independent media coverage at the time observed police actions and tactics that were clearly beyond any acceptable function of public safety. #NYC was certainly not unique here.
Police will continue to suck public money and resources away from better causes, due to their continual misconduct.

A "purple heart" for an emotionally deficient maniac with a badge and a gun, because he hurt himself while putting three rounds into an innocent man.
He got a "medal of valor" award the prior year for shooting someone 10 times. #Colorado #police #PoliceAccountability #policebrutality #publiccorruption

I’m following #SanDiego but it’s mostly awesome photos and #Padres and what I’d really like is to connect with any #LocaLPolitics or local governance folks (especially around #PoliceAccountability) active here in SD City or SD County
