Five Citizen Review Committee Members Resign in Protest In a surprise move, five members of the nine-member Citizen Review Committee (CRC), which hears appeals of cases of alleged police misconduct, resigned to protest what they called a "mockery" and a "sham" system. The problems with this system include that many appellants will never get the opportunity to address the committee, there will be no public discussion of their cases, and, as far as we can tell, there is no set criteria for rejecting appeals. Now that the Committee (which already agrees with the police in about 80% of all cases) has been stripped of its more vocal members, the City will probably be facing the same major mobilization that led to the creation of the IPR, and maybe even a new ballot measure within months. www.portlandcopwatch.org /PPR30/crc30.html   (1498 words)
