Civilian Police Review Boards and whom and how they are constructed. When you have Local units of Government having Members taking Campaign Contributions from said Police Unions and Federations,you have a major problem.

It is called Conflict of Interest. Been down that road as a Union Board Member years ago. Seeing this shit first hand in my Ward with our Alder Person. All about endorsements by Police and Fire Departments. And if follow the money,well you get what you get,the best person did not win our Ward Alderman's spot,the least qualified won by touting endorsement by the Militarized Metro Police Department as well as Gun Rights issues.
