WOLVE RINE OF THE WE E K

Every Thursday, The Michigan
Daily will feature a member of
the campus community. This
week we asked: what is the
strangest thing you believe?

“My family, we always
wash our faces with
the first snow because
you’re not supposed to
get sick if you do that.
The first time it snows
a year if you go outside
and wash your face
with it, no matter what
time it is, you’re not
going to to get sick for
the whole year… and
I’m always healthy.”

LSA sophomore Kysia Jones

“This is not a problem we

should still be struggling with,”
she said. “We should not still be
struggling with issues from the
1970s.”

She
addressed
City

Administrator Howard Lazarus
later in the meeting.

“I don’t trust you,” she stated.

“I don’t trust the police. No one
has apologized for killing Aura
Rosser. Not yet. But you ask us to
trust you. Trust is earned.”

Transforming
Justice

Washtenaw,
a
group
that

advocates
for
restorative

alternatives to policing and
incarceration,
opened
the

HRC meeting with members
Lori Saginaw and Julie Quiroz
reading a statement they sent

to the mayor, City Council, city
administrator and HRC prior
to the meeting. The statement
requested the formation of a
Civilian Police Review Board
instead of the “Co-Produced
Policing Committee” the city is
pursuing.

“We call on the Ann Arbor

City Council to take immediate
steps
directing
the
city

administrator to put in place a
Civilian Police Review Board
that is independent, transparent,
representative and adequately
funded, based on the specific
features outlined below. This
CPRB should be in place no later
than January 2019,” Saginaw
said.

Several
HRC
members,

including
Dwight
Wilson,

shared a sense of urgency.

“We need to stop dancing

around and just do this. We have

all kinds of people telling us to do
it, and even if we didn’t, common
sense should tell us that we need
to protect the citizens,” Wilson
said.

The HRC formally proposed

a CPRB a year after Rosser’s
death in 2015, and again with
a unanimous statement in July
2016. AAPD chief Jim Baird, on
the other hand, blasted the idea
in the summer of 2016, arguing
implementing oversight before a
third-party review would be too
hasty.

“Because the commission’s

report
blends
the
national

discussion
with
the
Rosser

incident, I have concern that
there may be an appetite to
address national issues and
concerns with local policy,”
Baird wrote in a memo. “To
presume that the Ann Arbor
Police Department’s practices

are not ‘positive’ and that a
review board is the best way
to ‘ensure future adherence’
absent
any
supporting

reference is ill advised...
(civilian oversight) becomes
a mechanism for people who
are sometimes disenchanted
with police departments to
become more disenchanted,
because all they see is the
problem.”

Throughout the meeting

residents emphasized the
importance of a review
board
comprised
of

residents rather than the
Hillard Heinze proposed
Co-Produced
Policing,

which
would
include

commissioners,
policemen

and council members.

Similarly,
residents

expressed doubt regarding
the effectivity of a CPPC.
The CPPC cannot conduct
investigations
and
can

only review from outside
investigations
via
the

AAPD’s Office of Internal
Affairs, working as a third-
party liaison between the
public and the police. The

residents
argued
a
Civilian

Police Review Board would take
a more direct approach.

Saginaw emphasized amid

applause they were prepared to
take action and get involved.

“We are ready,” Saginaw said.

“Give us a date. We want to help.”

Transforming
Justice

Washtenaw stated the CPRB
would
exclude
current
and

former
employees
of
the

AAPD,
unlike
the
CPPC.

Furthermore, the CPRB would
be a place of transparency,
where citizens, City Council and
the AAPD would be regularly
informed on complaints and
corresponding action taken to
alleviate community relations.
Finally, Transforming Justice
Washtenaw
proposes
that

the CPRB would be made up
of nine members of various
marginalized people groups.

Lazarus
explained
his

vision for the CPRB composed
primarily
of
City
Council

members and commissioners,
bringing new Deputy Police
Chief Jason Forsberg on to
help assemble the team. Many
residents
and
even
some

councilmembers disagreed with
his proposal.

Councilmember
and
HRC

member
Sumi
Kailasapathy,

D-Ward
1,
argued
it
does

not make sense to have law
enforcement policing the AAPD.

“I feel that a deputy of police

leading this board, I don’t know
if conflict of interest is the right
word,” Kailasapathy questioned.

While
the
residents
and

HRC continued to discuss the
implementation of a review
board, the council seemed to
reach a compromise when they
decided to allow residents to
submit their names in order to
be selected for a task force to
provide input in the formation of
a commission.

Residents were advised to

offer nominations and submit
their requests to join the task
force to hrc@a2gov.org.
