Discussion- ending militarization of police, police brutality and gov sanctioned murder by LEO.

21. The only thing I'd add is that the Civilian Oversight Board not reside in the area. They are too

easily manipulated by locals...IMO, that's the reason for the State's Righters. To keep it "in the family", so to speak.

But absolutely reviewed by the JD. Just the threat of that might help keep the LEOs "adrenaline pumping" under control. Few want to see themselves on TV and internet over and over with national outrage responding as a Monday Morning Quarterback.

One other suggestion to add in there is anonymity for any "whistleblower/cell phone" so that citizens may film without fearing retribution. Someone mentioned instant streaming. My phone doesn't do that, but if I lived in areas where this is prevalent, I'd get it. I think this one, relatively insignificant, item of technology that almost everyone carries, along with the internet has the power to transform our justice system, at least somewhat.

So many of the Law and Order type shows immediately try to get the surveillance video. Many law breakers have been caught in the act, at least on TV. Being from the Boomer Generation...reading "1984" probably back in 1974 and fearing Big Brother, it did kind of foresee this type of social situation even though there was no internet or cell phones at the time. I think it's turned out that the citizen's power is increasing and catching crooks and abuse of power incidents a bit easier to reveal.
