We need special oversight committees, we shouldn't leave it to DAs who work with the police, explained Simmons.

He's actually right about that. But it would be difficult to keep those oversight committees fair and nonpolitical.

They are instantly subject to corruption and politicization and have failed everywhere they are tried.
