Guide to Political Revolution, by Bernie Sanders: on Crime


Police forces should reflect diversity of their communities

We must reexamine honestly, how we police America, and the federal government can play an important role in establishing a model police-training program that reorients the way we do law enforcement.

Every effort should be made to have police forces reflect the diversity of the communities they work in. And that must include in positions of leadership and training departments.

We must demilitarize our police forces so they don't look and act like invading armies. We should federally fund and require body cameras for law enforcement officers to make it easier to hold everyone accountable. We must stop cash-starved communities from using their police forces as revenue generators.
