Civic leaders are finally at least talking tough about reforming the police departments they've barely overseen for years. Protests -- some of them violent -- have erupted all over the nation, ensuring very few law enforcement agencies can consider themselves above the fray… or above reproach.

We'll see how much of this talk remains tough (or turns into action) once the heat dies down a bit, but for now, it's good to see political leaders stepping up to call out their law enforcement agencies as part of the problem.
