two Seattle residents are now the closest thing the city has to a
civilian police-oversight board. In the last year and a half, they
have acquired hundreds of reports, videos, and 911 calls related to
the Seattle Police Department's internal investigations of officer
misconduct between 2010 and 2013. And though they have only combed
through a small portion of the data, they say they have found several
instances of officers appearing to lie, use racist language, and use
excessive force—with no consequences. In fact, they believe that the
Office of Professional Accountability (OPA) has systematically "run
interference" for cops. In the aforementioned cases of alleged officer
misconduct, all of the involved officers were exonerated and still
remain on the force."
