Too many innocent lives are being unjustly taken by law enforcement. It has become a shoot 1st culture among law enforcement when it comes to the policing of African Americans. Everyone has the inalienable rights of LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The right to live isn't being extended to African Americans In police encounters. If a citizen is unarmed and doesn't pose and imminent threat to an officer's life then it's the officer's duty to extend the right to life back to the citizen. We feel it's the federal governments duty to protect the rights of its citizens. Also we feel that the training of law enforcement should be federally regulated so there is a uniform approach to dealing with the events that lead to killing of Micheal Brown and countless others and the hand of law enforcement...

I was raped by henri larue on october 3rd of 2012. Although they had my dna on the inside zipper of his pants and a recording of him bragging about making a pitstop with me, he was acquitted of his charges on Friday August 22, 2014. Please keep him from being reinstated as a police officer to prevent your daughters, sisters, and mothers from being raped by this man.

Since 11 August 2014 the People of Ferguson Township, MO. have been trying to get Prosecuting Attorney Robert P. McCulloch to recuse himself, voluntarily, from the adjudication of the Michael Brown, Jr. Case. (Questions of impropriety abound when it comes to the record of P.A. McCulloch.) To date, though, Attorney McCullouch has refused. To that end we, the undersigned of this petition, call upon Missouri Governor Jay Nixon to remove Attorney McCullouch from the case OR resign, himself, immediately from office for dereliction of duty by wilfully ignoring the request/will of the People of Ferguson Township and St. Louis County, MO.

For Parole Board members to recognize good conduct time, work time and flat time credit for 3G (aggravated sentence) offenders.

I want the United States of America to recognize and act on the fact(s) that "felons" are everyday being discriminated against when seeking employment. I know employers have the right to hire whom they please and may, but it is ridiculous when the employer wants to hire you, but the headquarters of that company tells the employer not to hire you. I want the President along with the House of Representatives (both Republican and Democrat) to all come together and create a solution to this problem. I am not alone in this situation. As a youth I never predicted I would become a man with two felonies, but I am as of today and for the rest of my life. There are many felons here in America. Life is nearly hopeless as a felon. I have been turned down from jobs with Wal-Mart, Target, and many other great jobs I sought to re-integrate me, only because of my background check. I never understood these truths until I became a felon myself. Why do they (felons) end up back in prison? Hardly anyone wants to hire a felon, and if they do they are not willing to pay them enough to survive. This is a matter that has NOTHING TO DO WITH COLOR. I want to see justice done here. I want the EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION to end. Felons are still human beings. The only difference between a felon and a non-felon is at least you know what the felon's struggles are. There is no deadline for this petition I am creating. I just hope this can be the beginning of this movement and hopefully end with a change in the employment field. Discrimination is real and it hurts. This is a serious matter. I can be contacted at [email protected] or (903)353-4896. Justice for all means FOR ALL.

We need as many people possible to sign! Justice for Vic is much needed!

Family visits, or conjugal visits, have been a part of this state's prison system for years until recently. These visits have been proven to help the inmates keep family ties strong while being a part of the system. Being able to visit with their wives and children without having to worry about others watching their every move, or even just lying in the same bed as their significant other can mean the world to anyone that is involved. Please help bring these visits back into the system!

After uniformed police in Rhialto, CA wore body cameras, instances of complaints against the department dropped dramatically along with accounts of use of force. With all the recent and tragic uses of force against civilians by police, it would serve us as a nation to equip our uniformed law enforcement officials with the means to record interactions with the public. This both dissuades civilians from provoking police, and protects civilians from undue use of force. Please sign this petition to promote integrity in law enforcement and help prevent tragedies in the future.

When officers are required to wear video cameras this will protect the officers as well as the citizens. With the recent shooting death of an unarmed teenager in ferguson Missouri, Michael Brown this could help justify why the police officer had to shoot to kill.

To decrease the overcrowding and population of the 3-G offenders in Texas prisons.

Everyday you pick up the newspaper and you see the cop's are justifying killing people and dog's without any consequences.....this is Bullshit

Berks County residents, alarmed by the in-prison death a widowed mother of seven, discovered that the Court system's policy is to jail the parents of truant children if they cannot pay the children's truancy fines. Concerned citizens who had been unaware of the policy until the woman's death was reported, and who found that corrective legislation was moribund in Harrisburg, concluded that only the force of organized public opinion could foster a change in policy. For that reason, they decided to draft and promote this Petition.
