    Are insurance company workers not “civilians?”

    (It’s implied that he was talking about a government agency instead of a commercial one, but technically, nothing he wrote was incompatible with what you wrote.)

      Ah, I misunderstood. I read “Civilian-run” and assumed that meant “community-managed”, Like a Wiki to catalog police-brutality.

      I am an idiot sometimes

        I mean, that probably is what he meant (if not an actual Federal government agency independent from the DoJ, which is how I interpreted it). I’m just saying, the way he worded it wouldn’t preclude the idea of the insurance industry doing it instead.

        You’re not an idiot; I’m just being excessively clever/pedantic.
