It'll take money for the Fed to encourage those departments to enact a uniform, identifiable reform. Carrot/Stick. If you follow our guidelines to the letter, you get a bunch of money. But we see red states turn down perfectly free Medicaid money out of pure spite, so...

Why aren't the police leading these reforms? They seem to struggle against any attempt at reform - just look at how their unions respond to the topic.

There's a serious cultural problem within policing in this country that the police themselves have _zero_ interest in addressing.
