Police reform is hard. In the wake of the shameful beating death of Tyre Nichols, we’ve seen a number of promising reform ideas, including dramatically increasing training and disempowering police unions, both of which I support. But resources are finite, special interests are powerful, and inertia always stands in the path of reform like an enormous boulder in the road.
I’d like to propose my own modest idea that will not cost a dime, will not require any changes in law and can be implemented immediately: Let’s police the language police use.
