Why this petition matters

Started by Adrienne Baeza

On May 21, 2020, Ryan Whitaker was shot in the back and murdered by Phoenix Police. A neighbor of Ryan’s escalated his 911 call to the police that night claiming domestic violence. Police officers Jeff Cooke and John Ferragamo responded to the call, and Ryan came to the door with a gun, not knowing who was on the other side of his door. As the body camera footage shows, as soon as he realizes it is police at his door he leans down to put his gun down with his left arm up in compliance.  As Ryan was kneeling down, officer Jeff Cooke (badge #10282) fired 3 shots towards Ryan, hitting him in the back with 2 bullets. Ryan was innocent, and not the suspect the police have made him out to be. He deserves JUSTICE! Please help our family put the monsters involved in jail.
