With this assumption, wouldn't it be logical to set a civilian reveiw board completely independant of the police/mayor/DA to investigate alledged police misconduct? A check on the exective branch at the local level? Would it be such a bad idea for the citizens to be involved in the investigation of such incidents? Wouldn't it actually make the LEO's job a bit easier as when the people know there is a disinterested third party they can air their complaints too misconceptions and grudges can be aired and resolved instead of festering? In addition, the professionals would be cleared in a way no one, not even a loud mouth rebellious kid such as I, can claim cover-up?
i used to work for a large company that had a driver safety committee with no truck drivers on it.it was worthless
i think review is greatand i certainly support non cop involvement in it. but a strictly noncop review board makes as much sense as my reviewing brain surgery. further the unions would never allow it. in one area i know the union is so strong that a cop in a shooting has a 5 day period before he has to make a statement.
i've had 100's of interaction with cops more than 50 that ended with me in cuffs and my "peer group" had many more encounters. and its peculiar to me that i saw so lil misconduct. and lest one think i was in an area where they had a force with a good rep most of the encounters were in pg county md and dc
i think the mindset of some of the folk on here is precisely why the unions would oppose an all civilian review
