From #8CantWait, to signs at local #BlackLivesMatter rallies, to an opinion column by Sheila Leslie, to the Defund campaign, there has been a wide range of reforms demanded by many at both national and local levels.

We’ve seen Reno’s police update its use of force policy, including banning chokeholds and shooting at or from vehicles, and giving it some new wording: “It is the Policy of the Reno Police Department to protect human life and human rights. Officers must use only the amount of force that is Objectively Reasonable to effectively bring an incident under control, while protecting the safety of the Officer and others. The Officer must only use that force which a reasonably prudent Officer would use under the same or similar circumstances. Officers are expected to apply force in accordance with departmental training.”

For some protesters we’ve talked to, that’s not far enough. Here are ten other ideas we got in posts, conversations and on protest signs.

#1. Immediate Release of Investigation into Miciah Lee’s Killing by Sparks PD

#2. Fire Local Police Officers Who Engage or Have Engaged in Racist Behavior including with UNRPD

#3. Reduce future police budgets and instead increase spending for education, mental health, housing and other social services

#4. Have Medics and Health Care Professionals Respond to Most 9-1-1 Calls

#5. Demilitarize the Police and Refocus their training and equipment into Community Peacekeeping

#6. Cut all ties between local police and ICE

#7. End all contracts/special agreements between police and local schools, colleges and universities

#8. Make Police Disciplinary Records More Transparent and Available for Public Review

#9. Make all Data on Local and National Police Use of Force, including Killings, Available and Public

#10. Revisit the “qualified immunity” for police which leads to most lawsuits against police being thrown out
