A new lawsuit filed in federal court last month alleges that the Baton Rouge Police Department ran a “torture warehouse” where members of its Street Crimes Unit strip searched, beat, and otherwise humiliated people and then released them, often without their being charged with a crime. Soon after the lawsuit was filed, the FBI opened a civil rights investigation into the allegations of misconduct at the now-shuttered warehouse known as “the BRAVE Cave.”
There are a lot of great potential solutions. The problem is getting people in a position of authority where they can effect change.

We need to find a way to motivate enough people to vote to elect politicians who see the problems and are open to solutions.
