No matter what you may think of Trump, his latest police reform package seems like a good start. Here are 3 of the main points. SOURCE I believe it also bans choke-holds in non-lethal situations.

• Creating credentialing and certification programs in every police department across the nation
• Information sharing — create a national database that can track officers with excessive use of force complaints so they can’t skip from department to department
• Incentivize co-responder programs — have mental health experts accompany officers on responses to non-violent calls involving homelessness, addiction, and other mental health issues

The flashpoint for police violence is the physical resistance of the subject. The cops should just let the person run (if there is no physical danger to the police), arrest him/her later with the additional charge of resisting arrest, after giving the subject the opportunity to surrender themselves. If voluntary surrender occurs resisting arrest charges can be dropped.

Yes that is probably a good idea and may be implemented at some point. Trump says he is open to working on more reforms.

"The executive order was developed with buy-in from both community leaders and police advocates, according to the White House. It also is not meant to be final. The administration anticipates working with Congress to sign more reforms into law." Source

It's a start, but I'm not sure how much of one it is. Unless the AG has a lot of unprogrammed money, the incentive for local law enforcement to get certified is pretty low. I'm waiting to see what legislation he champions in Congress.
