The police need better accountability, better hiring practices, better people skills, de-escalation skills, etc. Man, these incidents are going to just keep piling up more and more as time passes and there are more cellphone cameras in people's pockets. There should be a thing where an off-camera police officer is an off-duty police officer. Also, have it have a button to hold for several seconds to turn off and that comes back on after three or four minutes. We also need blacklisting from police jobs, to prevent the wrong people from simply being re-hired elsewhere as police officers.

But all these things are meaningless without proper prosecution for police wrongdoing. Bullshit legislation needs to be removed (starting with civil forfeiture, immediately) and police corruption cracked down on hard.
