I think everyone is missing a big issue.  There is no accountability.  The Mayor claims not to have any responsibility because the Police Commission is responsible.  Well no one elects the Police Commissioners and they don't seem to influenced by the Mayor who appointed them.  How fix this problem?  Easy, eliminate the Police Commission and have Mayor appoint the Police Chief.  It worked before the commission was created and I don't remember problems when Dan Liu was Police Chief.  Liu was Chief from 1948 to 1969 and served under both Democrat and Republican mayors.   So lets dump the Police  Commission and let the Mayor appoint the Police Chief.  At least the taxpayers can get some accountability from an elected official, rather than a cabal of political insiders.
