petrea_mitchellA couple of things you probably haven't seen reposted a zillion times already:
Campaign Zero has been collecting the research on what works and what doesn't to reduce police violence. Whether you want to demilitarize the police, fix their training, or replace them with some other people entirely for non-life-threatening situations, Campaign Zero has the details on how.
"Pride, Policing, and the Conservative Politics of My Hero Academia" at Anime Feminist picks apart a worldview you may recognize from a fair amount of Western media.
(Also, My Hero Academia is terrible for other reasons too, please stop helping promote it, sf fans. If you want to encourage people to watch a foreign show using Western superhero tropes, then here are a couple of recommendations: Tiger & Bunny, where the guy who wants to outright execute all criminals is a secondary antagonist and the heroes include an extravagantly non-tragic nonbinary person; and Concrete Revolutio, which is about the messy intersection of freedom, justice, and truth set against a background of 1960s turmoil.)
