Whom do we look to for this radical change? Commissioner Ross took laudable action last week in taking cops off the street, but a police commissioner is, by definition, both a part and a product of a historically opaque system. The city’s police advisory commission doesn’t have the authority to demand real change; it’s refraining from responding to this development until the cases of the 72 are resolved. The Fraternal Order of Police typically defaults to defending its members no matter the circumstances. Other than praising Ross’ action, the mayor hasn’t issued much of a statement, either. So whom should citizens look to for answers – especially those citizens most vulnerable to the actions of cops so racist they can’t keep from broadcasting it?
