I am not surprised that police officers or former police officers do not support outside review of complaints about police. My experience concerning internal review has changed the way I look at police. I had a police officer lie in court to protect someone that assaulted me… That the police should be allowed to self-investigate is absolutely adverse to the rights of citizens to have fair government. I have seen many good police officers and have seen bad police officers… I had a local police officer, who had 20 years on the force, tell me that it is usual for officers to lie in court. To all good police officers, I want to thank you for your loyal service to the community and our country.
