Making what change, exactly? You and I cannot control the choices that other people make, we can only control our own choices. I flex my control by teaching my children how to live a moral life, by myself, living by that example and living a moral life. I come to boards like this one and try to convince people through well thought out and articulated arguments what is objective, logical, rational, and moral, without dodging to emotion.
You could start by voting for politicians who want to enact laws requiring more police training. Or at least not saying nothing ever will change, because if that were true the world would look a hell of a lot different.
Do I expect one person to make systemic change from the bottom up happen? No, I’m not a total moron. However, being defeatist and saying police reform, or any other thing that needs to happen, is simply impossible is not helping anyone.
That is so many words to say you’re okay with the status quo and making no changes.

What would I want, personally? Reduction in government and taxation across the next 50-100 years until the government is completely gone.
This would give the market the opportunity to move into those sectors that the government currently controls.
This along would slowly solve many of these problems - at least to some degree.
