The City of Austin passed an ordinance on November 15 creating the Office of Police Oversight. Even as this new police accountability goes into place, Austin Police Department, the deadliest in the state, faces several looming scandals. What safeguards does the city have in place against its cavalier police department, what remains to be accomplished, and how will this effect the shocking revelations that APD may have falsely cleared as many as 1,400 rape cases without an arrest or charge? We talk to Chris Harris, an organizer with Grassroots Leadership, for the full hour about police transparency and accountability policies throughout the nation.
