Dear Alderman,

I know you have a lot on your plate, but I would like to take a moment of your time to express my urgent support for the Police Accountability Task Force's recommendations for the Chicago Police Department. 

Policing is difficult work, and pervasive distrust between police and their communities can only make it harder. We should improve officer training for youth and people in mental crisis, and focus on de-escalation techniques. Community Empowerment and Engagement Districts, and a commitment to beat-based policing, could help officers get to know the concerns of the neighborhoods they protect.

Hiring and promoting more officers of color is necessary, but we should go further: the statistics on CPD's use of guns and tasers suggest endemic racism. We should implement universal bias training, and implement an early intervention system to identify officers with problems.

As with the OPS, the IPRA appears neither motivated nor equipped to ensure the safety and just treatment of Chicago residen

Jokes aside, this deserves a serious reply. Things I'd like to see in such a
community would start with:

- Trans people
- People of color
- Women
- Queer people

So I'm trying to pass the config: "update" options so I can do an upsert.

(r/insert (r/table (r/db db) tbl)
                                   {:val value}
                                   {"conflict" "update"}))
                                   
expands to

{:rethinkdb.query-builder/term :INSERT,
