At a panel discussion of police accountability and reform, Deborah Ramirez, a professor of law at Northeastern, called for reducing the role of police and narrowing the scope of their power. She was joined by Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins and Rev. Willie Bodrick II, senior advisor to U.S. Sen. Ed Markey and associate pastor at Twelfth Baptist Church.
