Experts in the field come together to share ideas, figure out what needs to be changed and begin to find common goals. Invite BLM, the 50 governors, mayors of major cities, experts in race relations...open up the discussion, stop the killing. It has now been a year since Michael Brown was gunned down and I don't see elected officials doing anything substantial to end this crisis. I just read that last month a group of state attorney generals from the western states met in Maui to swap legal ideas and meet with executives and lobbyists - wouldn't it have been great to have met in DC instead to discuss the mistreatment of African Americans in the justice system? DC too hot and sticky for them? Tough."
I didn't know about the meeting in Maui, your idea is much better.
