In response to the Senile’s “As We See It” column, which gave the City Council a thumbs up for “taking a deep breath and blowing out the candles on the city’s “Police Review Board,” [sic] Nüz is giving the Senile one of our newly minted Finger awards.
It’s kind of bad taste to applaud the decision to kill a commission made up of citizens, a decision made in such a way that the citizens involved were the last to find out. And speaking of citizens, the correct name of said board was the Citizen’s Police Review Board, the emphasis being on the citizens. Taking the people out of that equation isn’t something to celebrate, unless you believe that the best people to police the police are the police themselves, a belief , Nüz has noticed, that only middle-class white people ever seem to hold.
Anyways, like we said, we’re giving the Senile the Finger. You decide which one, and which way to point it.
