A horrifying incident this weekend in Mulberry, Arkansas has marked the latest chapter of America's ongoing conversation about police violence.

[contract with between police and society](https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/08/breonna-taylor-department-of-justice-indictment-louisville-cops-misconduct.html) rests at the foundation of American democracy. Even as we have seen an increase in the numbers of police who have been convicted for wrongdoing, the lack of system accountability almost ensures that we will continue to see an unacceptable level of police violence in American society. The only meaningful way to address police reform in America is to double down the focus on culture, and the only way to shift police culture is through policy that creates system-wide accountability. The only way to reverse the lack of trust in our current system of law enforcement is to increase transparency in policing and current lessons have taught us that we cannot count on police to do it themselves. While the courts and juries have begun to lean slightly in the direction of accountability for police, the larger conversation about meaningful policy reform is absent at the national level. With ocular evidence having become a standard, people who reside in jurisdictions where there is no mandate for body cameras are left to hope that their complaints are investigated and that a jury will accept their personal account with equal weight as they would in a case where they could see the evidence for themselves.
