An example of questions I don't hear asked:

These are bright red and screaming flags. Did your supervisors then verify, for example, that officers are using force consistent with training? At the lowest level necessary? That they are treating citizens with dignity and respect? Making truthful statements? Not singling out community members by race? Being unbiased, fair and impartial? Are they literally standing discreetly in the streets watching them do what they do, as a matter of routine? All that language came straight from your manual, §§5–101, 103–04, and 301(III). These are your requirements. Are you meeting them?
