2020-06-07 | The Constitution demands police accountability - The Washington Post

'North Carolina farmers revolted against corrupt local officials as part of the Regulator Movement in the 1760s. '

'African Americans — both free and enslaved — complained about physical violence and property damage and even demanded redress for offenses committed by public officials. '

'But that hasn’t always been the case, and this matters because police powers actually belong to the people. '

'In fact, the institution of professional police forces were part of efforts to take police powers out of people’s hands. '

'More substantial requests — the end of slavery, the right to vote — did not fare as well, although they did lay the groundwork for later change. '
