What should citizens do when the government and official capacities are completely failing to hold police accountable?
In Seattle our Office of Police Accountability is a blind rubber stamping agency that our OIG recently reprimanded for their abysmal failures in investigating an incident with a lot of public intention.

(For the record, I do fund the 3 city council members who are toughest on police accountability. And our city council is moving in the right direction on police accountability - the mayor is the biggest obstacle)
Living under a good government isn’t some naturally free good we deserve to be given; we collectively create it, and if you aren’t contributing to that, then like most people, you are freeloading on someone else’s work to make it happen.
“I vote” is better than nothing, but less than the minimum average contribution required to make it work.

Replace their governments. Ideally, at the ballot box.
