A community leader who publicly criticized policing and previously sued the city will lose her place on Boulder’s Police Oversight Panel, City Council voted Thursday.
A community leader who publicly criticized policing and previously sued the city will lose her place on Boulder’s Police Oversight Panel, the City Council voted Thursday.
The City Council’s 5-2 decision overturned the work of the commission charged with choosing panel members and a previous vote by the council to approve those selections. Council members who voted to remove her and explained their reasoning said they did not think the panelist, Lisa Sweeney-Miran, was unfit for the job but feared retaining her against the recommendation of an outside investigation would jeopardize the work of the panel as a whole and open its decisions to litigation.
“To be honest, removing Lisa is a slap in the face to the people who vetted and nominated her,” Councilwoman Rachel Friend said before voting to remove her. Sweeney-Miran in a statement said the City Council acted against the movement for more just and fair policing in Boulder and silenced marginalized groups who helped select panelists.
“The city has broken their own laws, violated due process, and trampled on the First Amendment,” she said. “While this vote is over, we are not done with this fight.”
