No dog in this fight but it seems strange that most of these appointees are/were probably collecting checks from .gov. I thought this was to be a civilian review board?
I am usually wrong so let this post fade away.
I wonder if the MOCO detective is active or retired? If currently active, possible conflict of interest?
If I recall correctly, Ballard was a straight shooter at PFPA.
As many have also said, I'll reserve judgement until a few meetings have taken place. That Board could go either way.
