You could start by voting for politicians who want to enact laws requiring more police training. Or at least not saying nothing ever will change, because if that were true the world would look a hell of a lot different.

Do I expect one person to make systemic change from the bottom up happen? No, I'm not a total moron. However, being defeatist and saying police reform, or any other thing that needs to happen, is simply impossible is not helping anyone.

    What would I want, personally? Reduction in government and taxation across the next 50-100 years until the government is completely gone.

    This would give the market the opportunity to move into those sectors that the government currently controls.

    This along would slowly solve many of these problems - at least to some degree.

    Why do you think the government exists? You think the FDA and EPA and other government agencies and regulations sprung from nowhere?

    The market is not magic and we already are seeing outbreaks of diarrhea and other sickness directly caused by the slashing and diversion of funds for the government agencies responsible for keeping this stuff under control.

    Besides that's a non sequitur to what I said. Also guess what that would be - gigantic massive change to the system which you said was never going to happen. So I guess at least you've come around on that!
