Quit yer eyerolling! This is a basic good-government check/balance that should have been implemented 40 years ago when the BART police were created.

No, an oversight body's function would not be to prevent shootings like last weeks. They'd simply be serving the function of independently investigating such events, and/or investigating the investigators of such events.

Would this oversight body have stopped the shooting last week?
