Boulder City Council’s Removal of Police Oversight Member is Another Blow to Panel’s Effectiveness – Yellow Scene Magazine

This is an interesting article about how to remove a member from a police oversight board. There must be a process because members of these boards can’t have absolute membership and authority.
