  • This cop killed a child. He doesn't deserve a badge.
    Cleveland police officer Timothy Loehmann shot my 12 year old son — Tamir Rice — less than one second after getting out of his car. Now Cleveland’s police union wants him back on the force. The Cleveland police department’s investigation after Loehmann murdered Tamir revealed that Loehmann had lied on his job application, claiming he left another police department (in Independence, Ohio) for “personal reasons.” In fact, he had resigned from the Independence Police Department when he learned they were going to fire him — because they had determined he was unstable and unfit to be a police officer. After discovering this lie, the Cleveland Police department fired Loehmann — but Cleveland’s police union immediately appealed the decision and is trying to get him reinstated. An arbitrator recently ruled against Loehmann and the police union’s attempt to get him back on Cleveland’s police force. That would usually be the end of it — but the police union is still fighting to make Loehmann a police officer again. Timothy Loehmann should never have been hired, and he should never have been in a position to take Tamir’s life. He’s unstable, dishonest, dangerous, and he’s already killed unjustly and recklessly. He definitely shouldn’t be on the streets with a badge and gun, and ever since he murdered Tamir I’ve been fighting to make sure that doesn’t happen. When Loehmann tried to get a job at another police department in Ohio, he was forced to withdraw his application after I spoke out, along with thousands of people in Ohio and across the country. Now it’s time for us to speak out again. Far too often, police unions succeed in quietly getting corrupt and dangerous officers back in their jobs after the public’s attention has moved on. That’s what they’re trying to do here. We can stop it from happening — and make it less likely in the future — by publicly confronting the Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association.

  • Stricter sexual abuse sentencing/punishments
    This is not only an ongoing issue worldwide, but it's neglected foremost. Child abusers-Pedophiles come from all walks of life. It's usually those who hide behind the cloak of normality and respectability within our communities who are the worst offenders of all as they will thrive on this respect and the control over their victim(s) in knowing that they can convince many others that the child is lying and/or looking for attention. Accusers are out on the streets still living a normal life, while these families are living with a life sentence that they had done to them. It is not these children's secret to keep but only the perpetrator monsters secret to try and protect. The memories of abuse will always, every day of the child's life, affect them. Children will be affected for the rest of their lives. Nightmares, not sleeping, bed wetting, therapy, full body medical exams, bloodwork for HIV and Std's; these poor babies. These pedophiles need harsher penalties, monitoring, full-term convictions, not plea bargains.

  • This police union wants dangerous cops back on the streets. Demand they stop.
    The reckless actions of St. Louis County police officers Alex Maloy and Mark Jakob killed two Black men, beloved community members Mikel Neil and Townsal Woolfolk. Then they lied about it to investigators. They’re exactly the kind of officers who shouldn’t have a badge and gun, and the police chief decided to fire them. So why is the local police union fighting to put them back on the police force? It’s another example of police unions defending officers and shielding them from accountability no matter what they do. On August 10, officers Alex Maloy and Mark Jakob started chasing a car after it allegedly ran a red light, going against department policy that prohibits car chases unless there’s a serious crime. Witnesses say that the high-speed chase resulted in the police car ramming a car, causing it to spin out of control and crash. The two men inside were killed, and the officers left the scene without helping or reporting what had happened. For months, the police department denied that the car chase happened. We organized to demand the truth and keep a spotlight on this case, and we were able to obtain two videos from surveillance cameras that clearly show the police car chasing another car at high speed, with its lights flashing. These videos forced the police to admit that officers Maloy and Jakob tried to cover up the truth, and the department fired them. But now, the St. Louis County Police Association -- a chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police -- is attacking that decision, and fighting to have these officers reinstated. This is the same union that failed to protect Nikki Brown, a Black officer who complained about discrimination within the department. Because the community organized for truth and justice, officers Maloy and Jakob were fired. But if the police union succeeds, these dangerous officers will be back on the streets. Police unions often succeed in reinstating abusive and corrupt officers after the community’s attention has moved on. It’s a key part of how police unions block accountability. We can’t let that happen here. If enough of us call out the police union, we can expose their attempt to block accountability, making it harder for them to get bad cops back on the force, in this case, and in the future. After you sign the petition, we’ll follow up with other ways to increase the pressure on the police union and push for justice in this case.
