I have seen murderers serve not even half of their sentence and be released but if you get an aggravated sentence you have to serve half of your time. It should depend upon what the Inmate has accomplished while being incarcerated or being credited for their good time to reduce their sentences.

When I was 6 years old, my aunt, Dr. Deborah Saiki, was repeatedly stabbed to death by her husband, Russell Franklin Stone. While I can't do anything about the past, I can prevent this dangerous man from hurting anyone ever again, and that's why I'm asking you to sign this petition. Please urge the Board of Parole Hearings to deny Russell Stone (CDC #H-00697) parole. The family was told that this advanced parole hearing will be given because he is learning optometry, which is a huge slap in the face - my murdered aunt was an optometrist. Russell Stone has never shown any signs of remorse nor taken any responsibility in my aunt's brutal murder and is a continued threat to the public safety.

Our daughter was raped by an inmate that was on work release at a restaurant where she and other minors work. She was a senior in high school---he was in his 30's, huge like a football player! He was a member and leader of a gang in Chester, PA., and had a track record of criminal crimes since he was 16--he was also a drug dealer and user. He threatened to kill her and our family if she told anyone and fortunately--he was caught before he raped her again. He had our phone#, address , her SS# and such because the employees records were left for any to see, at this restaurant. (How we found out--he called our home while our daughter was home alone and he told her if she told anyone he would kill our family)! When he was scheduled for trail, he didn't show up and the judge had to get a bench warrant for his arrest---he was finally found in a crack house in Philadelphia. The impact on our family, well it is just devastating----our daughter tried to committee suicide several times--I had to take her every where I went including work---you will never know the impact this has on our family and all those victims of violent crimes and we hope you never have to find out!!! We plea that you please help us keep save, as well as all the communities in our state! Kind regards, Bruce and Barbara Campbell

My youngest nephew, Justin Patrick Reidy, was struck and killed by a drunk driver while walking near the Northeast Philadelphia Airport on the morning of August 1, 2014. Justin was an incredibly talented visual artist who was still navigating his way in life, instead of celebrating the 23 anniversary of his birth on October 1st, 2014, we will be marking the 2 month anniversity of his death. Arizona has the toughest DUI laws in the U.S. and I want the rest of the nation to follow suit. 1st Offense Min 24 hrs to 10 days jail $250 base fine License Suspension 90-360 days Interlock Device (IID) for one year 2nd Offense 30 to 90 days jail $500 base fine License Suspension 365 days Interlock Device (IID) 3rd Offense 120 days jail $750 base fine License Suspension 365 days Interlock Device (IID) If you’re pickin’ up drinks…please, please, put down your keys!

The people of Illinois have a right to know that members of law enforcement are not racists. Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7 (union that serves Chicago Police Department) began fundraising for Darren Wilson, the cop who shot Mike Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. See http://www.chicagofop.org/darren-wilson-defense-fund-donations/.

My son Mikey (a minor) was a victim of unwarranted excessive force by police(tasered) when walking home from a local store. My son committed no crime and carried no weapons. The police officers offered false scenarios in defense of their actions. Citizens have the right to have the truth be seen and told correctly to ensure safety and ensure police officers are not abusing their authority.

Texas inmates DO NOT get paid for work that they do on the unit they are assigned to. Texas has a paper agreement that in leu of payment inmates with good records will be given time served and early release. So far this hasn't been the case. Texas inmates are giving the state free labor and are not being giving parole or even time served. For the outside world that would be like going to work everyday and being told that you are not going to be paid for your service but you are still required to report everyday as scheduled. Texas needs to be held accountable and let the ones who have learned their lesson rejoin our society. Currently our tax dollars are what is keeping these guys in prison. Lets let some out and make them pay taxes just like we do. Many men and women have families that need and want them home and its for these that we need to take a stand and make Texas do what it promised.

Cyclists are being hit, maimed and killed while riding legally all across the United States of America. It is time to hold motorists accountable for their actions with criminal charges. Stop Open Season on Cyclists! On August 29, 2014 in Seattle, WA Sher Kung, 31 was killed while riding her bicycle in a bike lane in downtown. She was an attorney and new mother of a 7 month old child that she now leaves behind. Kung received a bachelor’s degree from Brown University and her law degree in 2009 from the University of Californina, Hastings College of Law. Our deepest condolences go out to her family and friends. Take Action Now! Do not let the Seattle Police Department or District Attorney allow this this driver to go home to his family without facing criminal charges. Several laws apply and should be enough to hold this motorist responsible for his actions. Remorse is not going to bring back this women who was cycling legally when she was struck and killed. This could be you or someone you love. Tell the district attorney you are a Cyclist for Justice. You expect charges to be filed. Laws that can and should be applied are: reckless driving: not yielding the right of way to another driver (bicycle driver); improper turn; not exercising due care that lead directly to the death of another driver (bicycle driver). In my opinion this is vehicular manslaughter and the district attorney should file and aggressively pursue these charges. No more slaps on the wrists for motorists that kill, injure, harass or hit cyclists. There are too many deaths of cyclists riding legally in the US. It is time for law enforcement officers, district attorneys and judges to bring criminal charges against these drivers. Enforce the existing laws as you would for any other vehicle on the road. These tragedies can be prevented. Drunk drivers are charged when they hit and kill people in other cars. Why should sober folks that make a choice, a dangerous decision and take a risk around cyclists that result in an accident or worse, death, be allowed to just go home? They should not. I firmly believe that when motorists are charged and jailed for killing bicyclists, motorists will take the existing laws more seriously. we will see more education for all drivers, improved safety for all bicyclists on or roads and, less motor vehicle accidents with cyclists. Take Action Now! Contact the King County Prosecuting Attorney, Dan Satterberg, listed here. Thank you! Contact your state and federal representatives too. Push for justice! Together our voices will be heard!d motorists accountable for their actions with criminal charges.

We are deeply concerned and reject the use of drone technology by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). The acquisition of drones by the LAPD signifies a huge step forward in the militarization of local law enforcement. The use of drone technology continues the normalization of surveillance, getting communities used to being watched and creating a culture of suspicion and fear. #NodronesLA

Former Baltimore City police officer Alec Eugene Taylor killed his girlfriend's 7 month-old puppy Rocko for allegedly pooping on the carpet. He beat the dog, likely paralyzing him, then choked him until dead. It was later found that Rocko died from hemorrhage of the liver due to blunt-force trauma. After he killed Rocko, he texted his girlfriend a photo of the lifeless pup. As a part of the plea deal, the animal abuse charge was dropped; and it's likely that Alec Eugene Taylor will spend only 3 months in jail for this wanton murder of a puppy. An injustice has been ignored in the service of plea bargaining. A police officer has been allowed to commit a crime and not served the time that the crime demands had it been committed by a private citizen. Equal justice under the law applies to everyone equally; if anything, a police officer should be held to a higher standard.

Free the innocence from prison, its a lot of people that's doing life and would never see the day of light because of being falsely accuse, I'm starting this petition because I would like to help free an innocence man but not just him I would like to help free many people that's suffering behind bars because of a crime they never committed or just doing unlawful time. Steven C. Godbolt was convicted to 156 years to life for a murder case he never committed, Mr.Godbolt was Charge for a premeditated and three counts of unpremeditated murders. I went through the transcripts an even heard on the streets that he didn't murder anyone, and it shows in the transcript that he didn't have a gun but because of the two guys that did the murder is still out at large the judge wanted to convict Someone with the case and the only one that they was able to convict as one of the shooters was Godbolt.

We are starting this petition because "We The People" of the United States of America are tired of our youth, elderly, and disabled being gunned down on our streets by a police state that is hell-bent on our destruction via control and is rooted in hatred toward a race, culture, or class of people that they deem unfit. IT IS WRONG and it must be stopped! We The People of the United States of America stand for love, justice, peace and freedom. We expect our police to do the same and when they step out of that mode or vein, which is the essence of Protect and Serve, THEN We The People of the United States of America have every right to call them and call our public servants to an account for that lack or disregard altogether. Thank you in advance for adding your name to this cause. Be well. Peace.

OR "they got what they deserved, in the end." I offer this in loyal contrarian opposition. Meet Dillion D. Taylor, 20 years old, of South Salt Lake City, UT. MURDERED by Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office​ and Salt Lake City Police Department​ like a dog in the parking lot of an 7-Eleven​ Convenience Store in South Salt Lake, Utah​ on August 11, 2014 - mere days after Michael O.D. Brown, Jr. of Ferguson, Missouri​ was MURDERED, himself, like a dog in the streets by #DarrenWilson. Exhibit A. Video (GRAPHIC, Fare Warning, DO NOT Watch this Video With Children under 10 years of age!) of his killing on 11 August 2014, over reported 'brandishing of a weapon on the streets': https://youtu.be/01ZwvYqMRhQ Exhibit B. The 'powers that be' for this community say that said murdering was 'justifiable homicide' and it couldn't be avoided. Even though Dillon Taylor, again just 20 years old, never produced nor were police able to find a weapon, a gun, that was said to be on a person, 'fitting his description', 'of interests' in the area brandishing a weapon at passers by and motorists in the area. No, and instead, Dillon D. Taylor, his big brother, and a cousin were coming out of a 7-Eleven store after having bought Slurpees, sodas and, snacks. Can you imagine? MURDERED like a dog in the street over clearly 'mistaken identity' and having a Slurpee and a sour patch whip in your hands. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/06/03/1390285/-Shocking-new-video-shows-unarmed-Utah-man-was-listening-to-headphones-when-killed-by-police?detail=facebook_sf I would very, very, very much like for you all to READ. SIGN. AND THEN SHARE this #petition with ALL IN YOUR CIRCLES folks. Because Dillon D. Taylor, 20, had his whole life ahead of him, and in an instant, in a moment, that whole life was taken from him, and the officers that did it didn't even give him a chance to produce anything but his headphones. Justice For Dillon Taylor​ and others! #RIPDDT http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/justice-4-dillontaylor?source=c.em&r_by=3867884
