You can't ensure it won't happen again.
But here's what should be changed:
1) Weaken police unions, make it way easier to fire problem officers, require a national registry of officers fired for disciplinary reasons, and a requirement for all departments to consult that registry prior to any hiring.
2) City officials need to predict when certain viral incidents are going to cause widespread anger/panic and act quickly to calm people down. Minneapolis dragged their feet big time.
3) Define what can NOT occur at a "peaceful protest", and make everyone aware that they will be arrested for these things. Then arrest them when this stuff happens, before things get out of hand. Such behaviors should include: Road blocking (uness they have a permit to do so), inhibiting others' free movement, throwing objects, assault, vandalism, arson, and looting.
