Police shootings require civilian review

Recently I spoke with the sister of a young man killed by the Miami Beach Police Department during Urban Beach Week. A few weeks earlier I spoke with the mother of a young man who was killed by Miami police in Little Havana. Earlier in the year I met the family of a young man killed by Miami police. We were at a press conference organized by the Miami Chapter of the NAACP, in which the Greater Miami Chapter of the ACLU, PULSE, and Brothers of the Same Mind participated.

This week another young man was killed by local police.

My law firm, along with Ray Taseff, successfully won a ruling from Circuit Court Judge William Thomas finding Miami-Dade County Police did not have the right to kill the son of our client by shooting him in the back. He posed no threat to the police when he was felled by their bullets.

I have had to face the family of civil-rights legend Bernie Dyer as they shared their grief at his loss after dying in an encounter with the Miami Beach Police Department a few years ago.

The unifying theme is the unbearable pain of the families of the loved ones killed by those who are charged with the responsibility of protecting and serving them.

There is a uniquely powerful reaction of the victims of police brutality due in large part to the incongruity of the roles of the actors involved in these senseless acts.

There is no act of greater consequence in a democracy when the government kills one of the governed. When government kills or oppresses its citizens with impunity we have uprisings like those we witnessed this year of the Arab Spring.

Citizens in a democracy must feel they have a real role in overseeing the abuses and the excessive force brought upon them by government actors. In this community, a decade ago, in light of the deaths at the hands of the Miami Police of predominantly African-American victims, citizens voted to create the most powerful Civilian Investigative Panel (CIP) in the nation. We institutionalized civilian oversight of police in Miami with a funded, professionally staffed group, overseen by citizen appointees.
