It's pretty sad watching all the comments here calling this suggestion mccarthyism, witch hunt, etc. Police departments should be doing this and holding their employees to a high standard that's not a witch hunt that's common sense.

If you are a member of a violent gang or are too racist to police justly you are too dangerous to employ as a cop. Not looking for and removing these people is intentionally turning a blind eye to the extreme danger they present to people in their communities.

Because just calling for it does nothing. It’s clear that a top-down approach would be much more effective at solving systemic racism in law enforcement than a bottom-up one. The racists get witch-hunted and fired? Good. People being scared to be overtly racist is a good thing.
