Policing seems to be a topic of conversation today. I’ve got a couple of ideas:

Develop unarmed non-police response services for mental health crises, substance use, homelessness, and nuisance reports in cities. #txlege #PoliceReform 1/7
Institute independent and regular psychological testing for bias and suitability. 2/7
Ban chokeholds.

Limit how and when weapons may be deployed, including crowd control and “less lethal” devices.

Create uniform use-of-force protocols.

Eliminate “no knock” warrants. 3/7
Create a statewide duty to intervene to prevent the unlawful use of force. 4/7
Reject military surplus.

End civil asset forfeiture.

Decouple funding from arrests or tickets. 5/7
Build a statewide officer misconduct database.

Facilitate citizen review boards with subpoena powers. 6/7
I’ve got a few more...but this seemed like a good start. 7/7
