Is there a general belief that generalized reform will solve the racial equity problem?
Perhaps you should reply to what people write instead of your own imagination, and this would be less interesting.
But yes of course. Poor training standards, little in the way of uniform standards and poor selection is of course extremely problematic when it comes to matters of bigotry and prejudice. Law enforcement personnel are vested with authority and powers that civilians do not have, so you obviously need education and selection that ensures a very high standard.
Two out of a hundred being an aggressive idiot in in a civilian population is unfortunate. Two out of a hundred being an aggressive idiot in a police force is a catastrophe.
The numbers above are arbitrary and meaningless, they are merely meant to illustrate the importance of high standards of police training and selection.
