The Columbia Citizens Police Review Board saw its first glimpse Wednesday night of the reaction to a story that’s gotten national attention — Columbia residents packed themselves into council chambers to get a turn to speak about a Feb. 11 SWAT raid in which police shot and killed a dog.
Many expressed their outrage at the incident, saying the police are not in touch with the community. Some simply thanked the review board for existing, while others called on them to become more active in reaching out to citizens who might be intimidated by police.
