Dozens of people, mostly African Americans, huddled around tables scattered across a church gymnasium on a recent evening, discussing past run-ins with Phoenix police officers and ways to hold them accountable.
In a city still stinging from a video of officers pointing guns and cursing at a black family this summer, the confidential talks intended to give officials in the country's fifth-largest city ideas on how residents could help oversee the police.
Police in Colorado Springs, Colorado, released video this week showing officers fatally shooting a black man as he ran away. Walker said there are two basic types of oversight: civilian review boards, which investigate individual complaints, and independent auditors or monitors, which he prefers because they recommend practices and policies. There are also hybrids with elements of both.
The union added that residents already sit on some Phoenix police boards with officers and commanders who oversee use-of-force cases. The police union has criticized city leaders who back independent civilian oversight, especially Councilman Carlos Garcia. The former leader of an immigrant rights group, who wore an"End Police Brutality" T-shirt to a recent City Council meeting, said he prefers a hybrid approach.
