2-3 year federally regulated training program with civilian oversight to weed out the incompetent and dangerous and provide a consistent framework for training. Licensing to practice law enforcement to revoke when they break the law so they can't jump between states or municipalities and continue the same shit.

I want all American police abolished today and I don't care what happens next. Moderate change is the same as no change, and the current state of this crisis is our demise.
