Criminal Justice Reform

cop cameras
disclose whenever someone is killed/harmed because of an interaction with police and how/why with documentation
better police-neighborhood relations
independent investigations
train police to limit the use of force and how to de-escalate and have good public relations
get rid of mandatory minimum sentencing
no prison for nonviolent or low-level offenders
health treatment for drugs and other addiction, not prison
end the death penalty
legalize marijuana (jail sentences disproportionately affect African-Americans)
end for-profit prisons, make it more rehabilitation-focused
universal voter registration
repair the Voting Rights Act
help with the expenses of childcare, college, etc.

A lot of these go for everyone, and would help everyone, too.

I think the death penalty should remain. I don't want felons near me or my family. They can't be trusted.

But you understand that not all felons get the death penalty, right? And that the people that are on death row now won't just be let out on the streets if the death penalty is abolished? I ask because last time you stated this sentiment as your reason for supporting the death penalty and someone pressed you on it, you posted something incoherent about Obama pardoning drug offenders, which has nothing to do with the death penalty. Just looking for some clarification on what you mean by your post above.
