A great way to honor Dr. MLK @MayorMeganBarry is to join him in calling for Independent Oversight! BL2017-951! Ceremonial marches, speeches, panel discussions, and dinners in honor of Dr. MLK are okay, however, these are just one day events. #nashvillecob

Just sent this letter to Metro Council. Speak Up. Speak Out. Speak Often. In the absence of transparency, trust is elusive. In the absence of accountability, justice is elusive. #communityoversightnow
Thanks Pumps & Politics Episode 3 @Pumps_Politics for helping educate Nashville on the proposed Community Oversight Board. Opps! I meant to say that Nashville is considering 5.2 bil “not mil,” & 275 mil dollar projects, but the COB only needs 1.5 mil.

Reminder!!
Nashville deserves quality control for the police department. At the moment, the police monitor themselves. Restaurants do not monitor themselves -- and neither do doctors and dentists. Sign the petition to support a COB. https://t.co/clyf2adniT … #BLM#cobnashville
Nine months later, the fatal shooting of Jocques Clemmons is still fueling the movement for police accountability in Nashville. https://t.co/c48W6DRF39
Recently @MayorMeganBarry falsely accused community groups of not contacting #nashvillecob stakeholders, now the mayor apparently failed to contact Nashville General Hospital stakeholders. What gives?

A Community Oversight Board is
“An agency staffed with civilians, not sworn officers, tasked with investigating community complaints of misconduct by the police. It is a tool used to protect civilians’ rights, to maintain excellence in policing, and to create a safer Nashville"
