we need public accountability for law enforcement priorities. it is completely unacceptable for law enforcement to target a minority group or region, for instance; or to allow select others to skate. there needs to be accountability.

some presidents have prioritized civil rights cases, others have made busting monopolies a priority. that power can be used for good.

we've had something that has generally worked, until donnie exposed the flaws. we just need to repair it. bring back something like the independent counsel act, most notably.
