Christina Currie speaks out on need for police policy changes after review of protest videos.

Body camera footage from a Black Lives Matter protest in Fort Lauderdale, FL includes officers cursing, laughing, and appearing to be joking about shooting civilians and potentially injuring them with rubber bullets.  Upon review of footage Christina Currie raises questions on need for policy changes.

“It wreaks of conduct that is unprofessional. It reflects poorly on the police department. It reflects poorly on the city of Fort Lauderdale,” attorney Christina Currie, the chair of the Citizen Police Review Board for Fort Lauderdale, said.   “There’s a lot of room for improvement here and sitting back and being quiet and giving quick little one-liners to the media hoping everybody’s going to go away, that’s not going to bring our community where we need to be,” she said.

She also told Local 10 that she has recommended to the city and to the department that there be changes made to the body-worn camera policy that explicitly outlines the consequences of not following the policy.
