Removal from Commission on Police Practices

The commissioner himself denied the allegations, said he was locked out of city systems and denied the allegations and evidence needed to defend himself, and asked the council to vote no and send the matter to mediation.

Said Beyer acts with integrity and fights for the commission's independence, and believes the complaints are feelings, not facts, not sex-based.

Argued Beyer deserves his constitutional rights and evidence be made open, though the comment veered into unrelated remarks.

Cited CPP bylaws Article 3, Section 3B, arguing the case should have gone to the full commission for a two-thirds vote and that the process was used to silence independent commissioners.

Said commissioners shouldn't do the bidding of appointers and Beyer deserves his day with transparent charges.

Said administrative trials too often lack due process and urged the council to give Beyer full access to records before judging.

Blamed Councilmember von Wilpert for CPP leadership turmoil and urged the council to let Beyer stay and restore oversight.
