Do you think that COPA will change anything within CPD culture and policing in Chicago in general?
The Civilian Office of Police Accountability aims “to be the leader in police accountability by conducting thorough investigations, to advance the culture of policing and build trust in civilian oversight”; do you think this is possible?
They’re staffed by lawyers and community activists, I had been able to meet with them as part of a union introduction.
I’m reluctant to believe that they’ll be able to execute any long standing change that I could be wrong. What are your thoughts, Chicago?
