#2 the . . .department, . . . is now expected to "deliver police services with the goal of ensuring that they are equitable, respectful, and free of unlawful bias, in a manner that promotes broad community engagement and confidence."

You keep using those words. I do not think they mean what you think they mean.

#3 I hope that the police, that don't quit, pull the old "work to rule" maneuver so beloved in the unions.

Basically that means don't do diddiiy squat and let the chips fall were they will. (see also David Clarke)

#4 Let me take a stab at the prohibitions...

Tho shall not arrest a member of a protected class, ever!

In a disagreement between a member of a protected class ans a nonmember, the protected class person is always right.

Even when they are both members of a protected class, it's Whitey's fault!

Everything against a protected person is the result of RACISM!!! Protected people can never be racist....EVER!

(Taken from the statements and actions of former Atty General Eric Holder.)

#5 137 rounds fired. They needs some rules about spending a little more time on the range.

#6 Notice how these Eastern cops don't spend as much time on the range as Texas cops (who shot infrequently, but apparently have smart ~~ammo~~ operators)

#7 Rural western, Midwest and Texas cops probably were raised with guns in the house. Probably learned how to shoot at an early age, too. Probably paid for ammunition out of their paper route or other childhood work earnings.

Probably learned how to not waste ammo.

Eastern cops, not so much.

#8 "promotes broad community engagement and confidence" Unfortunately this pre-supposes a community capable of being engaged and confident. Not sure if there is enough of that capability in Cleveland.
