What, again, is the purpose of the Civilian Review Board? Seems like it's there to rubber stamp the police's internal investigations of police officers. They obviously have no power to remove the bad apples from the force. All they can do is "make recommendations". The fact that we still don't even know the name of the officer involved is disturbing. Another disturbing fact is that there are other officers who have been cleared of brutality charges by internal investigations and who are still on the force after being subject to civilian review.
What would happen if the Civilian Review Board recommended firing an officer? Have they ever done so?
