I am reaching out to the public to get my sons case examined. Christopher Okamoto was murdered by Bakersfield Police Officer Alejandro Patino on August 19, 2018. Officer Patino shot and killed my son in his own home never announcing himself as an officer. My son was scared and afraid for his life because he thought someone was breaking in because of the loud bangs at 11pm.

Nonetheless, the review board justified the murder and the officer was allowed to return to work full duties...Say his name Christopher Okamoto and let's end police brutality now.  The culture of law enforcement must change. Officers and agencies need proper training when approaching anyone at their home or on the streets.

Not everyone are criminals, but we fear for their lives just like police officers do. Police need to embrace the role of guardians, not warriors. I am fighting for Justice for my loved one and many other loved ones who have been victimized by police. We will not be silenced we are our loved ones' voices.

This petition would impact my family and many other lives tremendously if we get these murderers with badges off the street. Officers need proper training on excessive force and mandatory use of body cameras at all times or be fined or jailed. Let's take a stand and end these murders now!
