Police accountability is a bipartisan issue. Don’t let it become a prop in our political theater 

In May, I co-authored a piece for The Hill with my friend, Jillian Snider - the policy director of R Street's Criminal Justice and Civil Liberties team and a retired NYPD officer. Our piece was in response the political theater underway in Congress to usurp Washington D.C.'s locally-driven police reform bill. Fortunately, while the resolution passed, President Biden vetoed it - upholding D.C. residents ability to seek the type of policing they want - which, as we discuss in this piece included a number of commonsense police reform measures that have been passed in a number of states, including so-called purple and red states.
