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.
