There is a reason that no solutions are being proposed. Because none exist.
Example:
NYPD has over 41,000 officers. They are no doubt the finest, most well trained force in the world. Their leadership is top notch. You could fill a college football stadium with NY cops. So what happens if one of those 41,000 commits a hate crime? You know the answer. All 41,000 are declared guilty by the mob and are besieged. You’ve heard it. "What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now!"
So the question is this. How does NYPD hire 41,000 officers and guarantee that every one of them is a good person? Remember you only need one bad one to get everyone convicted. Any ideas?
All of us are under intense surveillance all the time now. Cops are like the only ones who think they shouldn’t be held accountable in the same manner as Joe Schmoe is.
Are the thousands of black officers, sergeants, lieutenants, captains and chiefs in on it to? Are they part of the culture? Are you seeing something that they are not?
Go back to my original question and provide an answer.

I think the people chanting for dead cops are vastly the minority and most of the people chanting don’t believe that but are more or less just in the moment. If we address the issues sufficient to demonstrate going in the right direction, people will stop protesting. The rare minority that demonstrates hate fuels off being in a group. They are powerless after that. And if they are there when the vast majority of people who are protesting within their rights without looting go home, they will just be extremest on the street yelling that. Because, as long as they are not damaging or looting they can chant anything they want about dead cops. I don’t agree with them, but they have the right to say that without acting on it.

Where do you get this info? Do you have inside information? And why are there so few actual examples of abuse? Why is it so rare among the 600,000 officers in the U.S?
I don’t need any “inside information” - all you need to do is pay attention.
“So few” is a very relative word. Perhaps your are more forgiving than others.
But again, that’s missing the point. The problem is less about individual acts of police abuse, and more about why those acts occur, and how the police react.
This is like saying in 1970, Well how can they make sure that every single cop isn’t on the payroll of the Mafia? Therefore let’s do nothing about the fact that a significant chunk of the NYPD is getting envelopes stuffed with cash and extorting citizens just because they can.
I don’t know if I’d go that far - but they’re certainly trained (both officially, and by the culture) to see everyone as a possible threat first, and a person/citizen second.
They don’t. The problem is LIB indoctrination of our young to believe that white conservatives are the problem and that they, enabled by law enforcement, are out to get the black man. DEMs alone have the solution. More and bigger government giveaways. As your OP suggests, this isn’t going away because LIBs will continue to dominate education, entertainment and the media.
Body cams, dash cams, cell phones. It’s all out there for the world to see.
You still have not replied to the question. Since most cops are not engaging in this behavior, how to we guarantee that every one of them is a good person?
No they are gonna get few hirings wrong. What needs to change is the blue wall. If a cop whiteness anouther cop assault anouther individual, that cop should arrest the other one right there. Cops know the difference between abuse and proper procedures. Just like cops say to a civilian, you can argue your side in court, well so can a cop.
I also believe they should not be able to use their uniform or badge when they are working other jobs like security.
