The problem is that each commissioner was empowered to nominate two people, with no regard to how ethnic background, gender, diversification would fit in. The same process takes place at the city council and possibly other governmental entities. When the council last appointed a reapportionment commission, each member selected one person and the end result was eight men and one women. They didn't check into party affiliations and one person chose to resign his party membership because no more than four members could be of the same party. Openings for members of all boards and commissions should publicized so everyone can apply. Bet that would change the complexion and all groups would be included. Meanwhile, the police commission should regroup and start from scratch. As the public to  submit names, even self nominate.
