Black Lives Matter offers 10-point plan to curb police killing

The Black Lives Matter movement has finally announced what many have been waiting for — a specific national platform aiming to curb police violence and reform the criminal justice system.

The complete policy outline is detailed at a new website called Campaign Zero. Here are some of the specifics from the site:

* More than 1,000 people are killed each year by police in the U.S. Of those, nearly 60 percent were unarmed. * There have been only nine days this year when police did not kill anyone. * The numbers of people killed by police in the U.S. aren’t even comparable to statistics in other countries — 1,100 killed in the U.S., and fewer than 10 people killed by police in other Western countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, and Japan.

The site offers a 10-point plan to integrate recommendations from communities, research organizations, and the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, which issued a final report in May.
