Charlotte Citizen Review Board Favored Police in Every Case for 16 Years

Those must be some spotless cops

Mayor Anthony Foxx is questioning how Charlotte's Citizen Review Board handles allegations of police misconduct.

Also, the review board's chairman says the panel will consider drafting reform proposals for City Council to consider.

In his first public comments on the issue, Foxx said Friday that he has asked Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Rodney Monroe to respond to last Sunday's Observer investigation showing that the oversight panel has ruled in favor of police every time in its nearly 16-year history.
