Why this petition matters

Started by BJ Lark + BP

Kionte Spencer was an 18 year-old senior in high school and resident of Roanoke County, VA. Kionte was shot and killed by Roanoke County Police on February 26, 2016 while walking by a busy street near where he lived (88% white). Roanoke County Police spun the narrative to win public attention, which grossly resulted into sweeping a murder case "under the rug". Roanoke County Police informed Kionte Spencer had a broken BB gun - TO DATE, NO TOY GUN HAS BEEN RECOVERED. Everyone who saw Kionte that day inform he had his headphones on and CELL PHONE in his HAND. Despite public outcry for JUSTICE for Kionte:

1. Roanoke County Police will not release the video footage

2. BIASLY investigated themselves

3. Closed the case

4. Claimed no wrong doing
