RESPONDERS WERE ALSO FIRED. TYREE NICHOLS DEATH AND VIDEO OF HOW IT HAPPENED AND OUTRAGED MANY AMERICANS, INCLUDING PEOPLE HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA. WEST PALM BEACH POLICE CHIEF FRANK ADDERLEY HELD A TOWN HALL TONIGHT TO ADDRESS ANY CONCERNS ABOUT POLICE POLICY. OUR JAKE WAY JOINING US FROM WEST PALM BEACH AFTER ATTENDING THE MEETING. SHE HAS MORE ON WHAT THE CHIEF SAID ABOUT KEEPING OUR COMMUNITY SAFE. JUST A FEW BLOCKS FROM HERE AT THE BETHEL MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH, MORE THAN 100 PEOPLE PACKED THE PEWS TO HEAR WEST PALM BEACH POLICE CHIEF FRANK ADDERLEY SPEAK. ANYBODY THINK IT WAS JUSTIFIED? RAISE YOUR HAND. I DON’T THINK YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE ANYONE TO RAISE THEIR HAND AND SAY JUSTIFIED. CHIEF ADDERLEY BEGAN TELLING ATTENDEES THE DEPARTMENT CONDEMNS THE ACTIONS OF THE MEMPHIS OFFICERS AND THE DEATH OF TYREE NICHOLS. THEN CAME THE QUESTION. MANY CAME TO ASK HOW CAN WE PREVENT WHAT HAPPENED IN MEMPHIS TO NOT HAPPEN HERE IN PALM BEACH COUNTY? WE TRACK, EVALUATE AND MAKE DECISIONS ON THE LEVEL OF FORCE THAT’S BEING USED BY OUR OFFICERS, ADDERLEY SAID. WITHIN 24 HOURS. ALL USE OF FORCE CASES ARE REVIEWED BY INTERNAL AFFAIRS TO DETERMINE ANY VIOLATION OF POLICY. ONE NEIGHBOR ASKED ABOUT INTIMIDATION OF BLACK YOUTH IN THE COMMUNITY. I DON’T THINK THEY LEARN FROM THE POLICE TO BE MISCHIEVOUS AND BE MEAN. SO I THINK THEY’RE WRONG BECAUSE THEY’RE AFRAID THAT THERE’S A MESSAGE SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE DON’T WANT TO INTERACT WITH THE YOUNG BLACK MALES IN TOWN. I DON’T KNOW WHO’S TELL THEM THAT, BUT IT AIN’T COMING FROM ME. ADDERLEY VOWED TO HAVE HIS OFFICERS ENGAGE WITH THE YOUNGER RESIDENTS IN THEIR COMFORT ZONE, LIKE BASKETBALL COURTS. BUT HE ASKED FOR HELP IN RETURN. AND WE LOOK AT THE TECHNOLOGY THAT ALERTS US ON THESE SHOOTINGS, WHICH IS 98% ACCURATE, 40% OF THEM ARE NOT BEING REPORTED BY THE PEOPLE. THAT’S DO IT AROUND AND WATCH THEM. HE SAID PEOPLE IN THAT VERY ROOM KNOW VIOLENT CRIMINALS AND NEED TO COME FORWARD. ONE MAN VOWED HE WOULD AND THANKED THE WEST PALM BEACH POLICE. THEN SO DID EVERYONE IN THE ROOM. AFTER THAT ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR ALL WEST PALM BEACH POLICE, THERE WAS A STANDING OVATION FOR THE CHIEF WHO REMINDED ALL ATTENDEES TONIGHT THAT THEY CAN CALL HIS PERSONAL CELL AT ANY TIME IN WE
