On Friday, city leaders and judges in Minneapolis, Denver and Seattle moved to rein in tactics like officers’ use of chokeholds, tear gas or rubber bullets. In recent years, reform efforts to curb police violence were aimed at accountability for officers or legislative changes, but the current wave of protests has amplified calls across the country to defund, downsize or abolish police departments altogether. ..."
