Seattle Community Police Commission Meeting
The CPC is having one of its weekly meetings, which offer community input on Seattle Police Department reforms. The PubliCal got the chance to speak to CPC executive director Fe Lopez, who told us some hot topics this week include findings from February's post-Ferguson #BlackLivesMatter protest community forum and potentially some May Day concerns that cropped up last week.
"We want to identify whether some of the things that came out in the #BlackLivesMatter forum continue to be issues of community concern," Lopez said.
While the agenda may not be available yet, you can bet that Wednesday morning's meeting will be a great primer on police accountability issues.
