The debate over whether Riverside's only form of civilian oversight over its police department will continue to exist continues, but questions are asked about its independence. Story by Mary Shelton.

Pomona College, Claremont McKenna College, Scripps College, Harvey Mudd College and Pitzer College have all canceled classes for Wednesday, March 10, in a show of solidarity in response to a hate crime that occurred Tuesday night in a parking lot shared by Pomona and Claremont McKenna colleges. The five colleges are all members of The Claremont College consortium and located on contiguous campuses. According to reports, a car belonging to a Claremont McKenna faculty member who had just taken part in a forum on hate speech was vandalized sometime between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tuesday. The windows of the car were broken, the tires slashed, and the body of the vehicle spray-painted with racial, misogynist and anti-Semitic epithets. Claremont Police are currently investigating the incident, which has been formally classified as a hate crime. Claremont McKenna College has offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to a solution to the crime.

Lewis's comments reflected growing concern that the newly elected council including four members financially backed by the RPOA would vote to undo the ordinance which created the commission in March 2000. Currently, only three city council members, Dom Betro, Ameal Moore and Nancy Hart have vocalized support for the commission as being a necessary mechanism to build trust within the community towards the police department. At least one council member said that the RPOA had approached and said that the commission was no longer needed nor wanted. In response, the RPOA was told that the commission was always meant to be for the community, not the department. On March 22, 2003, during the anti-war protest in Hollywood, Moises Coralles (seen at right) was assaulted by a mounted police officer. Moises was standing off to the side of the street holding a Palestinian flag as the cops on horses were clearing the intersection. The defense has on video a mounted police officer striking his flagpole with a large wooden baton, breaking the flagpole, then striking Moises in the chest three times. The officer claims that moments before that (not seen on the video), Moises thrust his flagpole underneath his facemask (but somehow didn't injure him). There are three eyewitnesses that all say Moises did nothing but stand there. The City Attorney has two officers, that were at least two car lengths BEHIND the alleged victim mounted police officer, who claim they saw the flagpole being “thrust underneath” the officer’s face shield. The City is clearly trying to railroad Moises into prison to avoid a civil suit against them for the officer’s unwarranted assault on Moises. He needs your support!
