8cantwait

8cantwait is a database that tracks major cities' use of eight policies they say are proven to curtail police violence.

The 8 policies include:
1. Banning chokeholds and strangleholds
2. Requiring de-escalation
3. Requiring warning before shooting
4. Exhausting all alternatives before shooting
5. Duty to intervene
6. Banning shooting at moving vehicles
7. Requiring officers to stop another from using excessive force
8. Requiring comprehensive reporting of use of force

This was a policy from years ago. The #8cantwait became viral after the death of Geroge Floyd.
