I think at a minimum--a bare minimum--that the police be compelled to live
in the city of Minneapolis as a condition of their employment. If they
have to live with the people that they serve, protect, and, in some cases
bully and brutalize, then there may be some
accountability. Accountability is what we are asking for isn't it? It is
possible to have boundries, but this would go some of the way of
mitigating some of the excesses that can occur. If you see a cop as a
neighbor, parent, bike-rider, and shade tree mechanic, then it will be
more difficult to stereotype and isolate them from the rest of the
community. It works the other way as well.
