Summary

This final chapter reflects upon all of these systemic issues that work in concert to foster a shoot first, think later culture, and offers proposals for reform that may appear as radical departures from current law and policy but which find broad popular support across demographic lines throughout the country. Beginning with reforms to address private use of lethal force and ending with reforms to police practices and accountability, this chapter highlights some new and existing proposals that could work together to redefine Black and White citizens’ relationship with police and each other.
