...the more I see a need for incident reviews with independence.

The job of law enforcement often requires quick judgements. This should begin with very detailed training. Current situations and example scenarios of how things went wrong should be included. Independent review should be a part of every aspect of police work from admission to training through everyday on the job.

IMO every shift should include peer review and critique along with review by independent agencies.

Prosecutors and courts needs investigators validating evidence and testimony in addition to having police with oversight.

For everyone like this guy that they find and release, there's likely 5 to 10 others who were railroaded as well. Most of them are probably minorities.
