ABOUT POLICE BRUTALITY

Use Of Force Project
This is a data and research driven initiative around the reforms police can make that actually work to reduce violent crime towards blacks by Police. They've found the reforms that make the most significant change can also be some of the simplest to enact. But most of the police departments in America will need activism to make these changes so I believe that's a pathway for individuals to help; lobby your local sheriff (especially if they're elected sheriffs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_kak7kAdNw)
