Boston's Police/Civilian Review board - Too secret to publish its findings

02/19/08
We don't want to embarrass the officer who is guilty of police brutality.

It's been a while since Beantown has embarrassed itself but I had faith, and Boston came through. The oversight committee setup to review potential abuses of police authority in Boston is so shrowded in secrecy that the public isn't allowed to attend and no records of the meetings are kept. That's some great oversight-work, Lou!
