To The Court Officials Of SouthHaven MS: Remove Former Officer Connor Schilling From The Road & H...Former Memphis police officer Connor Schilling appeared in a Southaven courtroom on Wednesday on DUI charges following an arrest on July 13. Schilling, 28, did not speak in court and would not talk to reporters outside the courtroom. His case has been rescheduled for Nov. 29. On July 17, 2015, Schilling was a three-year veteran of the MPD when he shot and killed 19-year-old Darrius Stewart after a minor traffic stop. Stewart was a passenger in the vehicle. According to the Southaven arrest report, a caller alerted the police that a blue GMC Sierra pickup was "all over the road, " that the driver might be driving under the influence and that the vehicle was heading into the Taco Bell on Church Road. Officer Whitney Walley arrived at the Taco Bell shortly before 1 a.m. and saw Schilling as he drove away from the drive-through and occupied two spaces in the parking lot. Walley noted that Schilling smelled of alcohol, had red watery bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and swayed when he stood. Schilling told the officer he'd had four beers. Among the items found in his pickup was an empty pint bottle of Jim Beam whiskey. Bond was set at $500. He has entered a plea of not guilty and is being represented by Anthony Farese. Schilling is now living in Nesbit, Mississippi. After the Stewart shooting, Shelby County District Attorney General Amy Weirich recommended that Schilling be charged with voluntary manslaughter and using a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony. But a grand jury did not indict him and a federal review of the shooting ended with insufficient evidence to support charges. Schilling has since retired on disability due to post-traumatic stress disorder, which has been attributed to the shooting. Earlier this month Schilling was deposed in a federal lawsuit filed by Stewart's family. Not his first DUI arrest Schilling was charged with DUI on July 5, 2014, and was suspended by the MPD for 18 days. According to department records, he was arrested at the scene, but the charges were dropped when the arresting officer failed on two occasions to appear in court. Schilling was also accused by a woman of using excessive force during a July 30, 2013, traffic stop. The woman filed a complaint and claimed she was bruised and that Schilling put a knot on her head. Enough is Enough.....!! He is a Danger To The Public! Former Police Officer Connor Schilling was Sworn to protect and Serve He Should Know The Law and Should Be Punished. Our streets Must Be safe for Our Children, Our Elderly and Our Disabled! He should Go to Jail!11,400 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Lakeesha

Demand that politicians pay back hush moneyHush money has been paid to keep those who have been harassed by members of Congress quiet using U.S. tax dollars. This is absolutely appalling! Who told them to use OUR money for THEIR indiscretions? These actions were in response to complaints relating to sexual harassment, but also to complaints regarding racial and religious discrimination, as well as discrimination against people with disabilities. These payments should have been a personal expense.292 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Joann Felters

Congress: Don't vote on Trump's tax bill without seeing his tax returnsDonald Trump’s new “tax reform” plan would be a massive windfall for special interests and the super-wealthy like himself and his family. But because Trump won’t release his tax returns, we have no way of knowing how much it would benefit him, his children, or his companies. Congress should refuse to vote on Trump’s tax plan until the American people find out exactly how much he stands to gain. Trump broke with decades of bipartisan precedent by refusing to release his tax returns during his presidential run (and refusing to place his assets in a blind trust after winning). And there are already plenty examples of him and his family personally profiting from the presidency. But Trump’s new tax plan could take that self-dealing into overdrive -- while Americans are forced to judge it without any idea how much passing it would benefit Trump himself. This is exactly why presidents of both parties have shared their tax returns with the public -- so that voters can hold them accountable and evaluate conflicts of interest. But instead, Trump wants to rewrite our nation’s tax laws while keeping his own business dealings secret. Just one example -- Trump himself has admitted a personal motivation in pushing to end the estate tax, telling senators on a phone call that his accountant told him he’d "get killed" if it weren’t repealed. There are countless opportunities for Trump to avoid paying millions in taxes -- and we can’t know for sure what they are without seeing his tax returns. Everyone has a right to know, and we all deserve basic transparency from the President of the United States. So before Congress holds a vote on Trump’s tax plan, it ought to demand the President give the public a clear picture of his background, experience, and business interests. Please add your name to tell Congress: Don’t vote on Trump’s tax plan without seeing his taxes -- and how much he’ll benefit -- first!149 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause
