protesters in the US have taken to The Streets calling for in The Wake of George Floyd's death put an end to the brutality of The Police , and what they see as systemic racism.

In response, Democrats have proposed legislation to deal with discrimination and reduce deaths in custody, including measures That would require, to wear Police body cameras, ban chokeholds and make it easier to track officers.

Here is a look at some of the proposed solutions, and other possibilities for the reform of The Police work.

Most of The Police departments have a "monopoly on violence" policy That is sure to have can use, how and when civil servants, power. These regulations vary significantly from country to country. For example, The Type of "collar" or chokehold That Officer Derek used to Chauvin, the George Floyd was banned, in New York City since 1993.

After high-profile Police killings, many departments are forced to re-examine and rewrite their use of force policy of the Federal decrees, consent. The City of Baltimore has decree its policy in the year 2019 in the framework of the agreement with the US Department of Justice after the death of Freddie Gray. The new version requires to report officers use incidents of violence and forces them to intervene when they see another officer's abusive use of force.

After Floyd's death, the Minneapolis city Council, The Police hand forced by the prohibition of chokeholds and makes it mandatory for managers to intervene when their colleagues with improper force.

proponents acknowledge That simply rewriting these measures would not effectively prevent deaths like Floyd, and this force is still disproportionately against communities of color. it showed That the Minneapolis Police violence against black residents to seven times more likely than white residents.

believe the protesters That cities and States give way too much money for their Police without the sufficient funding of education, Mental Health , housing and other community-based Social Services . A growing demand is for the political leaders to "defund" The Police -which usually means the reduction of the funding it cut.

These calls have been observed, from The Mayor of Los Angeles , the huge $150m from a proposed increase in the budget for his town, The Police . The Mayor of New York Bill de Blasio also promised to redirect money from the New York Police Department to Social Services , although he did not name a figure.

In Minneapolis, a group called The Black visions of the Collective is asking The City Council to pledge not to increase The Police Department's budget, and the redirection of $45 million to support The Force of the current budget, The City Treasury in The Wake of the Corona-Virus-pandemic.

"Now is The Time to wrote to invest in a secure and liberated future for our city," The Group . "We can't afford to Finance MPD's attacks on Black life. "

On Sunday, a veto-proof majority of the Minneapolis City Council made a promise in front of a crowd of demonstrators signed promising to "begin The Process of termination of the Minneapolis Police Department". They promised a "new, transformative model for the cultivation of safety". Earlier in the week, two members of The Council , The Word "dismantling" to describe their plans for The Department , as the Minnesota representative Ilhan Omar have.

The Statement is not clear, whether The Council is pledging to remake The Department , or if you think calling some protesters " "abolition of The Police ," the would, of course, The Most radical measure. The President of The Council said, you could imagine a scenario where The Department enters a state placed under forced administration, and instead of The Police .

A group called the MPD-150, the call for a "Police -free future" in Minneapolis, the Mental Health professionals, social workers, religious leaders, and other community-based supporters of The Work of The Police would.

There is some historical precedent for a wholesale dismantling of a Department. In 2012, the Camden, New Jersey , Police Department was completely disbanded and all its officers lost their jobs. However, it was certainly not the abolition - a new, countywide Police was formed and over 100 former Camden officers requested and return to their jobs. The Move , in fact, more Police on The Streets of Camden. The new Department took a very strict use of force policy and made it easier for The City to fire rogue officers.

The Department has reported a sharp decline in homicide and violence complaints since.

Since the 1990s, the military transferred about $5 billion-worth of equipment, ranging from a sleeping bag, ammunition, and armored vehicles to local Police departments through a special acquisitions program with the U.S. Department of Defense.

As a result, many advocates for reform of The Police argue That The Police function today is more like the domestic soldiers, with the help of techniques and equipment, which was designed for combat, as a community, the peace forces are trying to keep the people safe, and That this approach costs lives.

U.S. President Barack Obama to set limits, such as The Police , the programme in 2015 could, But most of them were overturned by The Trump management a few years later.

Not only The Police acquired more weapons in The Past two decades, But many are taught military-style tactics. This so-called "warrior training" often turns a story where Police officers are heroes, the warding off of danger at every corner, who needs to learn to protect themselves at any cost - Even if That means That the killing of civilians.

critics say it teaches cops to Be Afraid of, and the first shoot, think later.

In the year 2019, Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey with forbidden, bulls, participate in "warrior-style" training, Even on their own time, their own money. But The Local Police union called the ban "Illegal " is, and continue to offer the training.

There is research to show That . In the year 2017, a study published in research and policy found That the more military weapons The Police have, the more likely you are ready to use them.

sue the citizens who try to sue The Police in civil court for Excessive Force , often see their cases thrown out because of a legal doctrine known as "qualified immunity". It was protecting the Supreme court, the employees of the government from frivolous lawsuits and give The Police the legal room to breathe, the to the split-second decisions.

in order for a case to move forward, The Court directs That it must be two questions: first, was the Excessive Force used in violation of The Fourth Amendment? And if so, is there a "clearly established" before a court-to judge the behaviour would mean That The Officer knew That his conduct was Illegal ?

question is, where are the advocates say That the courts cases, give officers a free pass, throw-out, if there is no previous precedent, with an almost identical set of facts. A Reuters analysis showed That "qualified immunity" grounds.

A part of the comprehensive justice in the Policing Act introduced to eliminate This Week from the house of representatives and the Senate Democrats to qualified immunity for The Police . Judges of the Supreme court, Sonya Sotomayor and Clarence Thomas have both said they believe That the doctrine needs to be revised. There are currently eight qualified immunity cases before the Supreme court.

Sometimes, Police violence against Black People is due to a "Bad Apple " - an evil and racist cop who over-reacted, in The Line of duty.

In an effort to keep some troops and Police officers, the public, have fired to racist ideas. Last July, racist, violent messages posted on Social Media - But only after a representation of the interests of the news brought to light

But the reality is a bit more complicated than just a Bad Apple of the series ruined.

The Work of The Police , and the social researcher, a "closed system", where it is estimated little external control, and loyalty. If an officer crosses the border, others will back him or her. Without a video of The Incident , it is often only The Word of an alleged "criminal" and a respected policeman.

This is the reason why many are pushing for Police to wear body cameras to capture Police interactions. and the Congress is proposing Making It mandatory on a national level.
