“In my years as a civil rights lawyer, I have seen virtually all the same cycle in city after city: Politicians respond to the fallout from an incident of police violence by pledging various "reforms" that are either meaningless or things the police had been asking for anyway. These pledges are followed by increases in police budgets. Overall police violence grows, and the cycle repeats.” — Alec Karakatsanis
