Policing Reform

Racial Equality is an issue in policing, we need to bring more attention to the awful disparities affecting resident of color in my district, and throughout the United States.  I stand for demilitarization of many police departments, to reduce situations of unnecessary violence. 

I believe many of the problems with policing in America begins with the hiring practices, if elected I would draft legislation reforming the hiring practices of police officers throughout the United States, establishing federal guidelines every department must follow in the hiring of new officers.  I would utilize experts in all fields to accomplish this, and consult various groups throughout America.
