Justice Reform
We must include community input and Law Enforcement cooperation so we can get to a position of trust where there is no question about the integrity of our system. In turn, we again, can become the beacon of the world when it comes to justice, mercy, and peace.
- Law Enforcement officers have a license to kill and so MUST be held to a higher standard.
- Police departments have been allowed to operate independently, the way they see fit, and

- The system protects rogue cops and THAT MUST CHANGE.

The present outcomes are not optimal. It is imperative we take the opportunity to come together and reform our criminal justice system.
