Jacobs said the goal of the Miami board, and all civilian review boards, is to build trust. He added while the civilian panel itself couldn’t solve all police-community relationship issues, the trust it created would.

“It was never about sticking it to the police officers,” Jacobs said. “I have two kids. I want to raise them in a city where we don’t need police accountability or police oversight because they do the right thing all the time.”

Well there's your problem, wanting accountability for people with authority. Those people got into positions of authority so there wouldn't be any accountability, how dare you try to hold them responsible for their actions
