Why this petition matters
Started by Lance Shoaf
Jaylan Butler is a Black swimmer for EIU who was wrongfully arrested, held face down in the snow with guns pointed at him. When the police realized they had the wrong man, they held Jaylan in custody until he could produce photo ID claiming he resisted arrest. As a fellow black swimmer I view him as a brother, I want justice for him in the ongoing lawsuit against that particular police department. We need the world to see that Black Lives Matter and that Black Swimmers Matter! Thank you
