Why this petition matters

Started by Mallory Kessel

Officers were dispatched to a "non-emergency" disturbance call from a neighbor who allegedly saw a man sitting in an SUV for an extended period of time, according to the Columbus Department of Public Safety. The person in the car allegedly kept turning his vehicle on and off, the agency said.

Andre Hill is seen in the body camera footage coming out of a garage with a cellphone in his left hand and his right hand obscured before Coy opens fire. Coy is then seen approaching Hill's body, ordering that the wounded man show his hands and roll over, before asking a colleague if medics have been called. Coy does not administer aid to the victim, according to the footage.

Hill was taken to Riverside Hospital where he was pronounced dead, investigators said. No weapon was found at the scene and none of the responding officers had their cameras on until after Hill was shot, according to investigators.

The police officer, identified as Adam Coy, a 19-year veteran of the Columbus Division of Police, had his badge and gun taken away and was stripped of all police powers pending an investigation after it was discovered that he did not turn on his body camera until after the shooting. The footage comes from the camera's "look back" function, which captures video 60 seconds before an officer turns on the device.

Coy has been suspended because he did not turn on his body cam, not because he fatally shot an innocent man... 

Adam Coy is murderer and deserves to be put behind bars. He has a history of complaints and should not be on the police force or even walking the streets amongst us. Andre Hill and his family deserve justice for this senseless crime.
