It's almost as if someone at the City of Phoenix asked themselves "What is the least we can do but look like we're doing something? We don't actually want to change anything, like teaching our police officers that killing civilians is a bad thing."
From AZFamily, emphasis added by me -
City of Phoenix publishes website in response to DOJ investigation
The City of Phoenix has published a new website in response to the U.S. Department of Justice report findings into the Phoenix Police Department. The website showcases incident records, body cameras and evidence in cases mentioned in the report.
The website highlights cases that the DOJ mentioned in its report, separating them by categories such as the use of force, homelessness, discriminatory policing, protected speech, behavioral health, youth, and contributing causes. It also mentions whether the department reviewed each incident and whether administrators deemed them to be “within policy” or “not within policy.” Some cases were also “not investigated,” according to the website.
One hint that something is a bad idea?
Darrell Kriplean, the head of PLEA and someone who never saw a civilian death at the hands of police that he can't rationalize away, *praises* it.
From the same story -
Ummm...[start sarcasm] this may seem shocking to some, so it may be best for readers to sit down, [/end sarcasm], but a police "policy" that results in the deaths of multiple civilians is a bad policy and should be changed.
