While officials say the move is temporary and aimed at safety, critics warn it undermines community policing by silencing vital public accountability. A nurse removed from the July session disputes the claims, saying she was targeted for raising concerns about Gaza and surveillance tech—not for inciting violence. Experts caution that shutting down public discourse risks eroding trust, fueling more force, and reducing civic oversight, even if the feedback is uncomfortable. The commission promises to revisit the policy before the new year, but for now, only written submissions are accepted—raising alarms about democratic backsliding in policing reform.
