As a city council member, authored an opinion article, not calling to defund the police but instead "root out bad cops," admit that systemic racism does exist and reform law enforcement.

Supports revising the training process to address discrimination and racism in the Atlanta Police Department and establishing more accountability and transparency on police misconduct.

Plans to require body cameras, ban choke-holds and no-knock warrants and focus more on neighborhood policing.
