John is joined by Abigail Cerra for a conversation about a proposal for a  new police oversight commission in Minneapolis. Cerra is the former  chair of the Police Conduct Oversight Commission, a body that hasn't met  for most of 2022 due to the failure of the mayor and city council to  appoint new members. We talk about the draft creating the new commission  and its several glaring flaws; Cerra's experience; why she resigned  from the PCOC; and how the old commission was ignored by city leaders  and denied direct access to city data. Cerra says this is an opportunity  to fix those problems -- so that the city's next police oversight  commission has the political independence, resources and authority to  engage in meaningful oversight.

The proposal will be voted on (approved, amended, delayed or rejected) by the city council this Thursday, December 8.
