LINK Of course, no mention of any accountability for the bums and thugs and other animals the Birmingham police has to monitor and arrest.

That's part of the DNC's platform: No Personal Accountability

They are just trying to be OHSA for their criminal class supporters.

Crime will rise even more in all of these idiot dem run cities.

Citizen review board AKA 21st century white citizen’s council.

I’m sure they will be fair and offer unbiased review of all matters with the police.

I wonder who the token "conservative" on that community review board will be. Sure it will be some spinless RINO.

Why?

Black mayor.
Predominantly black city council.
Black police chief.

How can the fricking system be racist if the people running the system are the minority claiming racism?

If this means adding some transparency to the departments that currently do internal reviews without sharing how rulings were made or sharing the content of the reviews, good. Departments where cops act as the defendant, prosecutor, judge, and jury need to be more open.

Citizen Review Board


This is the proper way to prevent abuse. Give the people that are policed a voice in what is "acceptable" and "unacceptable" in their neighborhoods.

Sounds fine and good. But we all know this bunch will grandstand about what is "acceptable." Anything short of black on black murder is going to be subject to debate. "Right and Wrong" is going to be re-defined. What on Earth will this bunch deem "acceptable" other than cold-blooded murder against another black guy?

One side always says the other side needs to do better while completely ignoring their own side.

What I want to know is how this is not an absolute Utopia? What is the underlying problem holding Birmingham back from being a model city?
