No, because I really have no clue what it is you're asking for an "alternative" or a "solution" to.
An alternative to police brutality? An alternative to policing entirely? Something else?
If you clarify your question, then I'll be in a position to give you my thoughts.

I think that the consensus is that I'm alone on this nuance, Sock.
As an aside, I never actually claimed someone called me a jerk, but that is usually the intuitive moniker for the "odd man out" generating tedium for contrasting thoughts.
The overall point is that what was once an mere off-handed comment, became the trampoline for further discussion leading to the "thanks" counted conclusion that the entire tangent is tedious to the minds at work here.
Definitely civil, I agree, and as lagniappe Doctor X and I are now fast friends, so there is that.

The solution to the "justice system" we have now.
How can it be made better, more efficient, etc.?

In that case, I don't think that the justice system we have can be made better, so I would advocate abolishing it in favor of some sort of restorative justice model.
As for the supposed inefficiency of the present system, my view is that its inefficiency should be encouraged. The less people they can shove through the meat grinder in a given period of time, the better for the people. Anyway, it's still efficient enough that the U.S. has the highest per capita incarceration rate of any nation on the planet. China bests us in sheer numbers, but loses when ranked by its number of prisoners as a proportion of the population.

The culture needs to change. Bad cops need to be considered an aberration and disposed of rather than covered for and protected. That can only be done from the inside

What is "some sort of restorative justice model"?
Show the workings if you don't mind, I'm interested.

Restorative justice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You're better off going to that site or this one, because I cannot detail "the workings" of all restorative justice programs. That's actually the point: instead of a top-down, official system imposed by and for the benefit of the area ruling class, the people themselves decide which issues they want to see resolved by a restorative justice system and the manner in which the restitution is to take place.
This has been used extensively in some areas, particularly those where the community no longer trusts the cops and official courts (and with good reason).

Good question. Any group's culture is a product of the people in it, it's not imposed by higher ups, but it can be greatly influenced by them.
What do you think the culture is in Sheriff Arpaio's department? How do they interact with each other and with their community? How about Adrian Schoolcraft's precinct, a culture where an officer with some valid concerns regarding interacting with the community is harassed and locked up in a mental ward? What is the culture of a department where a cop watches his partner tase a bedridden old lady or developmentally disabled child rather than putting a stop to it?
What about the best departments in the country? What is their culture? How do they view each other and the people they serve and protect? How did that come about? What can be learned from them?

Re: Official "FUCK THA POLICE" thread
More police fail from Florida: a 17-year-old teen on a bike is Tasered, then run over, resulting in his death. It should probably go without saying that the teen was black.

Arrested for saying stupid shit.
Not sure if this is really worth a big FUCK YOU to the police, but damn it's really fucking stupid. There must be more to the story, it can't be all there is

Re: Official "FUCK THA POLICE" thread
Charges have been dropped against a cop caught having sex with cows.
A Sacramento police officer is under investigation for falsifying multiple DUI reports. The same cop was earlier reprimanded for taking out his gun during an off-duty dispute.
Here's another woman put in restraints during labour.
Another puppycide incident. In this case the cops got a search warrant for a suspected pot dealer who they claim was spotted at the house (did they raid the local gas station, restaurants and all his friends' houses too? Sounds like it). The cops claim the dog charged at them and the shot was fired in self-defence. The owners claim the dog was fenced in on the porch. The shell casing was found outside the porch.
Another, possibly even more outrageous puppycide came when a cop shot a dog at an off-leash dog park. Who was playing with the cops' dog. The cop claimed the animals were fighting, but the local animal control was unable to locate any evidence of scratch or bite marks on either dog. As an added bonus, the cop isn't being charged with anything. I'm sure that comes as a shock to you too.
"Ignorance of the law is no excuse," unless, of course, you're a cop or a prosecutor.

Re: Official "FUCK THA POLICE" thread
Australian Judge: It's okay to tell police officers to to fuck off. Defendant freed, his legal expenses may have to be paid by police (try that in the U.S.) because the cop was over-reacting.
