The simplest way to fix a huge amount of problems that exist in the USA would be to start holding the police accountable for their actions.
This is police corruption, an especially harmful category of corruption that undermindes our entire legal system. It should be 5 years minimum in federal prison. Police should recieve drastically stronger charges and sentences when they violate the law, not the other way around. If someone above was found to have known about it and didn't report it should be 2x.
You show me a problem in modern america (maybe except healthcare) and I bet I could argue this one policy would fix it in one roundabout way or another.
It won't happen for a bunch of structural reasons unless a major party took it up as a major part of their platform but it would work.
Come to think of it, this is one of the very few things one of the major parties could do to get me to vote for them.
