I would be curious to see some research regarding the racial composition of the police and its incidence on police brutality. Would a more diverse and/or more black police force be less, same, or more inclined to do police brutality?

At least it would solve the issue of racism. Get white cops to police white neighborhoods and black cops to police black neighborhoods. I suspect it's what's going to happen regardless of any explicit policy change.

Diversifying police forces does not fix the problem. It's what the police do not who does it. Black individuals can participate in Black oppression. I will not elaborate on the point because it's not my place. I will just refer you to great thinkers like James Baldwin as I mentioned elsewhere in the thread.
