how Congress could reduce police misconduct and unnecessary violence

License people empowered by states (and federal government) to arrest people or carry firearms as part of their professional duties.

The US Constitution creates a duty for the federal government to protect civil rights†, so, it's kinda crazy that there are hundreds of thousands of people who can kill people and deprive citizens of their rights who aren't licensed by the federal government.

The federal government should be supportive of states granting licenses as they see fit with a couple obvious caveats:

If Democrats want to win the House of Representatives, they can.

The path to winning will annoy the 1%. But they really haven't been paying their fair share, hey they?

Democrats should promise to pass a bill that will atone for the suffering caused by the Great Recession.

For ten years, Americans who vote will get from $500-1,500 on their birthdays. This will start in 2018 for Americans who vote in the 2016 election.
