Some of Zac's friends made a trip downtown recently and spoke to the Police Commission about the events that occurred on the evening of June 24, 2010. We made some other visits too that day. We'll tell you more about those visits later.

You know, anyone can speak before the Police Commission. They aren't scary and they don't bite. See for yourselves; here's a video clip of that meeting -- click here. Fast forward to the 15 minute mark.

Who sits on the Police Commission board? Well, that would be:

		President John Mack Former President of the Los Angeles Urban League  Vice President Alan J. Skobin Vice President and General Counsel of Galpin Motors Commissioner Richard E. Drooyan Partner in the law firm of Munger, Tolles and Olsen Commissioner Robert M. Saltzman Associate Dean at USC Law School Commissioner Debra Wong Yang Partner in Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher's Los Angeles office

And what is the purpose of the Police Commission? 

from the LAPD website: 

Under the City Charter, the Board of Police Commissioners is the head of the Police Department. The Board sets overall policy while the Chief of Police manages the daily operations of the Department and implements the Board’s policies or policy direction and goals.
