While the movement has gained steam in recent days due to the worldwide protests against police brutality, some activists have questioned whether the eight rules are effective, considering some cities with the worst police violence have already enacted many of them.
According to the #8CantWait website, the eight policies include a ban on shooting moving vehicles, a ban on chokeholds and strangleholds, a requirement to use shooting only as a last resort and mandatory, comprehensive reporting by officers.
The policies also include requirements that officers give warnings before firing their weapons and stop others from using excessive force.
The #8CantWait website includes an interactive component that shows users which policies have been enacted in their cities and provides resources for them to contact their mayors and ask that these policies be put in place as soon as possible.
