My name is Katherine Kostreva, and I am the first victim of MRDC fraud to go public, as documented by the New York Times. For more than six months, I pleaded for Bank of America to help me. Their refusal lead to a second case of MRDC fraud. To date, I have suffered financial hardship and emotional duress because of Bank of America's negligence. When they issued a gag order, I realized that those before me have been silenced. Please help me close this banking loophole, that will only grow worse in the near future.

The killing of my sister LINDA BROWN!

This petition was started to express grievance for the lack of indictment of the officer responsible for the death of Eric Garner by choke-hold and prevent the occurrence of similar situations.

This is an insidious and egregious type of theft that especially harms the poor. Such a system incentives arresting and criminalizing people for no reason but profit. This is part of a disturbing pattern of a privatized corrections industry and our city and county should have no partnerships with companies that profit from arresting people. http://www.numifinancial.com/ https://securustech.net/ (primary contractor that brought in Numi to Portland)

The whole nation is affected and has been affected for far too long by these inhumane policies and behaviors by police toward men and women of color. If I don't speak up, I am guilty too.

Too many police officers are not held accountable when they kill or mistreat Black males. We need independent prosecutors who will do their job.

Judge James Kilbane called Brown during sentencing "a cold, calculating, violent murderer who is completely devoid of truth, moral integrity or love for anyone but himself, whom I hope never sees the light of day." To date, Brown has never taken responsibility for his crime, never shown an ounce of remorse, or apologized to Robyn's family. The safety and welfare of Robyn's family and friends as well as the general public will be threatened should Brown be released, based on the horrendous nature of his crime. Parole must be denied.

Assistant District Attorney Kathi Alizadeh presented the Grand Jury in the Darren Wilson case with an outdated, unconstitutional statute which stated that police officers could legally shoot and kill a suspect for attempting to evade arrest. Toward the end of the deliberations, the ADA instructed jurors to figure out what the law means, and whether the US Supreme Court can overrule state statutes. The Supreme Court of Missouri should hold hearings to determine whether the entire prosecuting team is guilty of gross prosecutorial misconduct in the handling of grand jury deliberations in the shooting death of Michael Brown.

I live in St. Louis and want every citizen to have no doubt that they will always receive equal treatment under the law. The prosecutor's decision to use a grand jury and the presentation of evidence to the grand jury did nothing to reassure the public's concern about lack of impartiality. On the contrary, many are left to reasonably wonder whether it was Michael Brown or Darren Wilson that was being investigated. A special prosecutor would go a long way toward restoring trust in future cases of alleged police misconduct.

This petition has the sole purpose of making law enforcement officials more accountable. The use of deadly force is drastically being overused. Military personnel have a very strict code for "rules of engagement." The current policies that are in place need to be redone to effect drastic change and accountability. Police officers on the state and local as of late and in history past have been killing unarmed citizens without much if any provocation. Then they are getting a slap on the wrist and allowed to murder again. We need to begin with stricter rules within Internal Affairs to police the police officers, possibly creating community advocates in every city/town who are present and allowed to ask questions at hearings.

In March of 2010, an at the time twenty eight year old man was stopped by Pennsylvania State Police for Bradford County, PA., after it was alleged by them that he 'fit the description' of a hit-and-run driver. Over the course of a three day period Robert Leone endured some of the worst police brutality not seen since Rodney King was beaten, nearly to death, by police in Los Angeles, CA. in the 1990's. Robert Leone was repeatedly punched, kicked, thrown, tossed, tasered, chemically maced and gassed by state police for Bradford County, PA. in the Township of Towanda, PA. while in their custody for crimes that he did not commit! Wrongfully imprisoned for two years, he has since continued to pay a debt to society that he does not owe in the form of pain and suffering because of the torture he suffered so violently through. To that end we are calling upon Federal, State & Local Officialdom to call for a Special Grand Jury Investigation into this matter so that the perpetrators of such heinous acts may be brought to justice via a Judge and Jury of their peers. Thank you for your support and interests in seeing that Justice is SERVED on behalf of Robert Leone and his family.... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Good morning Friends!

I am trying to get as many people to be aware as possible of my situation so I am emailing you among others. I a military veteran was being sent to Hawaii but avoided those orders because I had been told about the racism and bullying of what is called "mainlanders" over there. The father of my son Cedrick D Richardson (resident of Jackson,MS) was stationed over there and got enrolled at the college there for his degree in graphic arts and designs. He got out of the military and stayed in order to finish his degree. Cedrick a multiple Iraq combat medic veteran had just got his company started called Bad Dwarf Comics LLC of 1613 Cowslip Lane File Number 92338 C5 Cedrick had been working and going to school full time as well as volunteered his other time to join the emergency response team of engineers to help keep am station generators running during the hurricane that was approaching Hawaii this year. Cedrick has no priors and was fulfilling his dream until one fateful night he was in the bar in a known area that is warned against being in and was targeted along with a friend of his. He was assaulted while being called n***ers and mainlanders and told to get off of the island. In the midst of their assault Cedrick went to his truck and got his weapon and fired at the group not intentionally to hit anyone but to get them off of him as well as his friend. Unfortunately one person was hit, thankfully he survived. Cedrick was targeted because of his race and this was not even taken into account when he was arrested on the scene. He did not to run but waited as he was sure the police would understand his actions. He was still booked even with a broken nose, swollen face and cuts above his eye. He is now being charged with attempted murder in the 2nd degree. There was no mention of the assault on him but was just covered us as "altercation" without giving the correct facts. Cedrick would most certainly not purposely try to ruin everything he has worked for but what we are sure of is that he was targeted because of his race and the fact he is not a local and this has been an ongoing problem for many people that Hawaii choose to ignore. No persons were even questioned about his broken nose and bruises. I am writing you because there needs to be some type of awareness of the problems that is faced from people not from there for instance there was another military family attacked by locals and police looking the other way such as the 68 year old ma who was attacked by locals and when police were called the officers persuaded them (Padrons) not to press charges, saying it would be expensive for them to return for court appearances and a Hawaiian judge would side with the Hawaiian assailants, the doctor contends.This is a totally unjust and unfair system that needs to acknowledge these situations. They are charging Cedrick with 2nd degree attempted murder and a 200,000 bail (3X that of locals charged with same crime) and facing 50 years. Cedrick has always been a productive member of society only trying to accomplish his dreams. Please don't allow him to be railroaded.
