Today the Evergreen Police Services Community Review Board, which is made up of students, staff, and faculty at Evergreen released its report on the incident on Feb 14.

It is attached in PDF format on this thread.

Basically, these were the major findings of the Board:

  • that the Evergreen police followed protocol, but the officer should have attempted to leave sooner and park her vehicle so it could have a quicker exit route, and
  • the initial arrest was justified and was not based on racial profiling, given the evidence and witness statements the officer gathered at the scene, and that the officer went beyond what was necessary to attempt to gather more statements, even when the crowd was growing more hostile
  • their should not have been only one officer on campus, and back-up should have been called sooner
  • that event staff were not trained and/or did not follow protocol, an
  • their was little to no communication prior to the event, between the police on campus and the event staff/student activities people responsible for planning the event

It should be noted that this report is only for the campus police, and the scope can not include Olympia police actions.
