No, I don't think that there are no solutions. It's just that anything meaningful will have to be done on a large time scale. In my opinion, the type of reforms we're talking about will take decades to accomplish. Decades of slow, incremental changes that could often feel pointless.

To be honest, while I think it would certainly help to have an executive oversight for a restructuring, I'm not convinced that any replacement of the administration could fundamentally restructure how policing works in America. There are too many incentives to keep things the way they are.
