Newly revealed documents show that Exxon’s own scientists were aware of and studying the dangerous impacts of greenhouse gases in the 1970s and 1980s -- until Exxon’s leadership decided to shut down the research and promote climate denial instead, in order to protect the company’s unfathomably large profits. Now Californians -- like all other American citizens -- are suffering from the damages of Exxon's unlimited greenhouse pollution. The unprecedented drought, fueled by global warming, has already caused $5 billion in damages and cost California thousands of jobs. Intense wildfires are costing the state budget hundreds of millions of dollars a year and causing billions in damages. Sea level rise is already harming California's coastal communities. And the risks of continued global warming pollution to the state are many times greater. The California Attorney General's Office should use all of the tools at its disposal to prosecute Exxon’s deliberate deception -- such as state RICO laws, California’s Unfair Business Practices statute (Bus. & Prof. Code sec. 17200 et seq.), consumer fraud statutes, or any other laws that are intended to protect California citizens from deliberate corporate misconduct. The attorneys general of 46 states successfully sued tobacco companies to pay for decades of deadly deceit -- now it’s time for Exxon and the fossil-fuel industry to pay for their climate crimes.

Chaplain (MAJ) Joseph Blay was found guilty of several charges and is being processed for elimination from the U S Army. He was later diagnosed with Dementia or early onset Alzhiemers which was not known during his Board of Inquiry. I don't think he should be released without benefits; instead he should be Retired with full benefits.

My husband Jesse Tiger is currently serving a 3 year prison sentence for violation of probation for a misdemeanor charge of domestic abuse 31 days before being released off his 8 year probation sentence. Jesse was addicted to k2 (synthetic marijuana which is more like heroin or pcp) for 3 years. I slowly watched as my husband destroyed his health, not to mention became a monster when he wasn't high. I knew this wasn't the man I married. I felt like I was screaming out for help but no one was listening because no one really knew about k2, so no one took it serious. Instead of sending my husband to rehab to help him with his addiction they sent him to prison. I begged the district attorney to send him somewhere he could get help but they wouldn't even consider it. Jesse was taken into custody on my birthday June 3, 2015 & Jesse is the sole provider in our family so when he was incarcerated within a couple weeks my electricity was cut off, I was legally evicted, & was homeless for 3 months. Jesse is a well known tattoo artist on the south side of Oklahoma City. He is currently first runner up in the top four finalist for OkC's Top Tattoo Artist of the year award that will be held November 6, 2015 at the Oklahoma Ice Event Center. My husband does not deserve the punishment he received & now they won't even let him transfer to a half way house in Oklahoma County because of the domestic charge. Shame on you Oklahoma for sending my husband to prison when all he needed was help!!!!! HELP ME GET MY HUSBAND HOMEBY SIGNING THIS PETITION SO WE CAN HAVE OUR LIVES BACK TO NORMAL & WE CAN GET BACK TO WORK.

On Monday, October 26, 2015, a Spring Valley High School student was body slammed and dragged approximately 4 or 5 feet by Officer Ben Fields, Spring Valley High School resource Officer. Sheriff Leon Scott who employed Officer Ben Fields upheld Fields behavior and said he "was acting in response to the student, who was refusing to leave class." Leon also said "The student was told she was under arrest for disturbing school and given instructions which she again refused. "The video then shows the student resisting and being arrested by the SRO." If you notice at the start of the video, Officer Ben Fields said, "Either you come with me or I will make you." he never told the student that she was under arrest so how do you physically make someone be placed in handcuffs or say that they are resisting arrest when they was not initially told they were being placed under arrest? and if she was placed under arrest her Miranda rights were not read to her. The first two videos show Fields approaching the girl who was sitting at a desk in a classroom. Fields grabs the girl's arm while putting his own arm around the student's neck. However, a third video from Instagram shows Fields body slamming the student while in her desk, but the student then hits the officer while he brings the desk to the ground. Then Fields began to drag the student to the front of the classroom where we then could hear him say, "You are under arrest". The person who posted the Instagram video says the student was initially asked to leave the class for telling the teacher that she would not put away her phone. The poster says the teacher disciplined the student with a write-up for being disrespectful and disobedient. After being asked to leave again, and refusing, an administrator came to remove her, and she refused. That is when the SRO was called in. The poster of this video claims when Fields got to the classroom, he asked her to get up from her desk 4 or 5 times and again, she told him no. After moving objects from around the student, and asking again to leave the classroom, and her refusing, that is where you see the officer getting physical. As you read, Mayor Steve Benjamin said no student in the class stated that Officer, Ben Fields told her she was 'under arrest' before he began to physically assault her as if he was a female fighting another female on the streets. We demand that you FIRE Officer Ben Fields, and that criminal charges are brought against him immediately.

I am starting this petition because we are seeing women and children being raped and murdered at an alarming rate! We, as a community, need to come together to stop this epidemic! Rapists, pedophiles, and child abusers, are being let out of prison early to re-offend ! This is not okay! Here's our chance to make a difference.

Deputy Ben Fields of the Richland, SC police department is seen on video body slamming a teenage girl for refusing to leave class. This happened in school and in front of other students and the teacher. Turns out, Deputy Fields has a reputation for brutality towards students in Spring Valley High. Criminalizing the behavior of Black students in school does not help them or the school. This is not just about a bad apple, but a bad way of thinking about an entire segment of this society. We must stop the school-to-prison pipeline by ending the use of police to solve normal childhood behavioral issues.

Although we have seen people die on camera, we know this program will bring a new level of accountability the people desperatly need. CAJE Community Advocates for Justice and Equality.

James Greer, an unarmed, brown, 46-year-old grandfather, was pulled over by Hayward, California police and administered a field sobriety test in May, 2014. Because of a medical condition, his 380-pound weight, and his apparent drug intoxication, Greer could not comply with the officers’ orders to place his hands behind his back and to lie on the ground. A struggle ensued, Greer was tased three times, and he was put in a straightjacket-like full-body restraint. Then he died. Even though Hayward PD sends out many news advisories for subjects ranging from missing persons to homicides, they never disclosed this death publicly, nor was it independently investigated by the District Attorney’s office. The Sheriff/Coroner ruled Greer’s death an accident, with the cause listed as “PCP intoxication associated with physical exertion,” even though there is ample evidence that chest or neck compression during constraint, especially during an encounter with police, often leads to a condition known as Excited Delirium Syndrome, which leads to a few hundred deaths each year in North America. An expert in the field stated, “People literally exhaust themselves to death.” A spokesperson for the Alameda County District Attorney’s office said they review officer-involved deaths only when they are from gunshots, per an agreement they have with county police chiefs, and would only review a restraint-related death if requested by law enforcement. We call for a full, public airing of these policies by the agencies named, including policy revisions as necessary to provide safety and justice for all people, as well as satisfying the public’s right to know how their law enforcement agencies are handling dangerous interactions with the public, and to know the results of police-involved-death investigations. In the post-Ferguson world we now live in, pre-Ferguson policies are not sufficient, and best practices call for forums in which public input is sought with regard to the policies.

My petition is about the need to take the church arsons outside of Ferguson, MO seriously and investigate them as hate crimes. Although I don't live in Missouri, as a humanist and a Jew, I feel that we are all responsible for making the world a better place and that hate crimes always need to be investigated with rigor.

On October 18th, 2015 at approximately 3:00 a.m. Corey Jones was sitting in his vehicle on an exit ramp off of I-95 awaiting road side assistance because his car broke down as he was leaving a gig as a musician. Officer Nouman K. Raja who was in plain clothes in an unmarked van approached Corey's car with his lights turned off and driving near the drivers front side. Officer Raja exited the vehicle and approached Corey in a very unprofessional way and created a hostile situation and ultimately shot at Corey 6 times striking him 3 times and killing him. Corey was legally armed with a firearm and never fired a shot as he ran for his life to no avail. Corey was a peaceful young man who lost his life simply because his car broke down. Officer Raja needs to be fired from Palm Beach Gardens Police Department and Palm Beach State College as a police instructor. Fire Officer Nouman K. Raja Now!

I am a citizen of Chicago and therefore deeply concerned about justice in our city. As Aristotle observed, a city without justice is no city at all.
