Why this petition matters

Started by Chris Hill

Far too many times police brutality has got off with just a slap on the wrist while families are left to grieve the loss of a loved one at their hands.  The justice system’s protection of their own at all cost leaves civilians and especially people of color feeling not protected or served but hunted.  It’s time to put an end to this gross injustice!  This abuse of power has gone on for far too long.  As a law abiding citizen who happens to also be a black man. I personally shouldn’t have to fear that if I accidentally run a red light that I could end up dead and not make it home to my family.  We cannot and will not continue to endure such trauma at the very hands of those who swore to protect and serve.  It has happened so many times that it’s becoming the norm to see an unarmed black man killed by police and no justice being served.  The punishment of losing your job or going on administrative leave for brutally killing someone does not fit the crime.  There needs to be criminal charges brought against any officer that believes they have the power to be judge, jury, and executioner on the spot!  Even if a crime is committed or someone resist arrest that person still deserves to see their day in court. The only way we can change this narrative is by inflicting a heavy and stern punishment such as life imprisonment for those who choose to abuse their authority as Police and brutally take the lives of those in the community their called to protect and serve.
