As American Citizens refuse to take police misconduct that favors cops and their families but wrongfully convicts or otherwise damages innocent citizens, more advisory boards are getting formed due to citizens taking action to protect themselves.
Forming and enacting an advisory board that oversees complaints against cops is not easy to implant in a municipality. This is frightening to cops who somehow have unfairly claimed a right to hide their misdeeds and the investigations of those misdeeds.
Citizens were pretty much to beat politicians at their own game by using a pol's need for political whoring against them, forcing them to install citizen advisers into positions whereby cops must either answer to them or at least permit them access to all the hidden devices cops use to cover up police misconduct.
The reaction of some cities is to put in place people of "their own choosing" to take on those roles on investigating and analyzing police investigating police. So the intent is to sway things back toward covering up, making the cities utilizing this latter method better able to avoid paying out in damages to innocent citizens via lawsuits concerning police misconduct.
Can the cops police themselves? Denver says no police, public, department - Top Stories - Colorado Springs Gazette, CO: "In Colorado Springs, the cops police themselves - and it's no different with most other departments across the country.
But some communities see a fundamental problem with that approach: Without an outside body overseeing the process, how can people be sure that police misconduct is handled properly?
Their answer: They can't."
