Israel Hernandez was killed by the Miami Beach Police for scribbling an "R" pictured here on a McDonald's wall. The 18-year-old skater was chased down, pushed up against a wall, and tased, after which he started to show signs of "medical duress." One witness even said the officers were congratulating each other after tasing him. Hernandez might have been fleeing out of fear of deportation. He was a recently documented Columbian immigrant. Regardless of the circumstances, no one should have to die for scribbling an "R" on a wall. Sign and share to tell the Miami Beach Police department that you want the officers who did this to be held accountable and action taken to make sure this never happens again.

Around 3:00 a.m. on March 24, 2012, Molly Young was called to the Carbondale apartment of a former boyfriend, Richie Minton (a dispatcher for the Carbondale Police Dept.) with a plea of "Help me." He had been drinking the night before. She was killed by a gunshot wound to the top left side of her head (Molly was right-handed) shortly afterwards. Her former boyfriend's father and lawyer were at the scene before Illinois State Police were able to arrive on scene, and the Carbondale Police allowed her former boyfriend to wash his hands and change his clothing before evidence was gathered. He also refused to submit to any forensic testing or to even be interviewed. Molly was left to lay in his bedroom floor for 7 hours after the 911 call until search warrants were signed. There are many more inconsistencies and errors in the handling of this case by local police. The Jackson County State's Attorney made no charges after his investigation and a coroner's jury decided the cause of death as undetermined. Information pertaining to this case can be found at the Carbondale Times website. http://carbondaletimes.com/021413young

Innocent people are being wrongly convicted without sufficient evidence. This is a big problem in the USA. Not everyone can afford a good attorney and you have your public defenders who are suppose to protect you, but because they are overwhelmed with so many clients they don't even remember your case and will do anything to move on to the next case. We as the people should help the innocent. Why is it so easy for information to be falsified to hurt the innocent? For example football player (Brain Banks) who was innocent, he was convicted and did time in prison. All for what because of a lie. We need to defend the innocent.

On February 1, 2013, My brother took me out to a bar for my birthday, during which we were accosted by police. They beat my brother unconscious, and wrote on the report that he was hostile and needed to be restrained. My brother suffers from a disorder where he is incapable of violent behavior, and I have notified the FBI about the criminal behavior of the police, but it is not enough. Our story is one of thousands.

It is rumored that the parole board spends 4 minutes or less reviewing each case and with the data presented in the Fiscal Year 2012 and 2013 Statistical Annual Report it is realistic to assume that is close to the reality of their ability. As a result of discriminatory regulation and lack of resources, the current system unjustly binds many inmates who are ready for reintegration to the confines of their unit without merit; specifically with regard to youthful offenders, first-time offenders and other individuals that have proven through their daily choices and actions over a period of time that they can be successful members of society if given the opportunity. We are not asking that you agree with all our points but that legislators look into all areas related to parole which are currently failing or have been identified as concerns.

Serán entregados a: la casa del estado de Texas, el Senado del estado de Texas y el gobernador Rick Perry DECLARACIÓN DE LA PETICIÓN Reforma de libertad condicional ha sido un tema de preocupación por un tiempo... el momento de actuar es ahora; estas preocupaciones han sido pasadas por encima y empujadas a un lado por mucho tiempo. Fondo de la petición Se rumorea que la Junta de comisionados que deciden la libertad condicional gastan 4 minutos o menos revisar cada caso y con los datos presentados en el informe estadístico anual de año Fiscal 2012 y 2013 es realista asumir que está cerca de la realidad de su capacidad. Como resultado de la regulación discriminatoria y falta de recursos, el sistema actual une injustamente muchos reclusos que están listos para la reintegración a los confines de su unidad sin mérito; específicamente con respecto a delincuentes juveniles, los delincuentes primerizos y otros individuos que han demostrado a través de sus decisiones diarias y acciones durante un período de tiempo que pueden ser miembros exitosos de la sociedad si se les da la oportunidad. No estamos pidiendo que esten de acuerdo con todos los puntos contenidos en la carta adjunta pero que los legisladores Miren en todas las áreas relacionadas con la libertad condicional que actualmente están fallando o han sido identificadas como preocupaciones.

This petition is in relation to Bijorn Trent vs. Lehigh county in an alleged homicide that occurred December 4, 2012. The ex- friend (Lourdes Gonzalez) and 3 of her friends went to the defendants house and vandalized his common law wife's car and then jumped the defendant. The defendant hit one of her friends knocking him unconscious and the unconscious man was later pronounced dead. APD was called prior to the incident in relation to the exfriend harassing and threatening the defendants wife for months before the incident. The whole situation was caught on tape and Lehigh County still has not charged the aggressor with a crime. In addition there are 3 other families who were also subject to the same situation caused by no other than Lourdes Gonzalez. All four families have suffered a great deal of loss such as employment, jail time, or having to relocate from their homes because Lourdes Gonzalez has not been charged for her crimes. This is an absolute injustice to these families who have to now live in fear because even with evidence this criminal (Lourdes Gonzalez) is allowed to roam free and victimize someone else. This is an outrage to our community of tax paying citizens who buy into the justice system by being law abiding tax paying citizens. Where is the justice for these families?

Two women were driving their car on the highway when they were pulled over for throwing out a cigarette. The next thing they know, the state trooper claimed to smell marijuana, and the women received a full body cavity search. The female trooper who conducted the cavity search has already been fired, the male trooper is under investigation, and the women are suing for sexual assault. This incident is bad enough, but it isn’t an isolated occurrence among the Texas state Highway Patrol. It has happened before and it might happen again unless something is done. Tell the Department of Justice to investigate the Texas Department of Public Safety for multiple cases of Fourth Amendment rights violations.

All three branches of the federal government are ignoring the Constitution and Bill of Rights, No war has been declared since the 1940's, legislative tricks have been passed to disregard the safeguards enshrined in our founding document.

Whether you have a personal experience with gun violence or not, each of us is impacted by the “Shoot First/ Stand Your Ground” Laws. No longer are we perceived as our own Neighbors, Friends, or Travelers. These laws are uniquely designed to turn every Man, Woman and Child into “Prey”. While this law clearly puts lives at risk, it also endangers our very concept of how we perceive each other. Reject the notion that your neighbor is a ‘Thug’. Reject the language that is being imposed upon us as a Society. Stand Up Against “Stand Your Ground”.

Hello! My name is Cassandra Nelson and I am writting on behalf of keisean Ellis who is my son. On December 30,2011 keisean Ellis was forced at gun point into his car (while other gun man was lefted at his home waiting to kill his 2 daughters )and forced to put on a mask and gave a crow bar, the gun man took the gun from his head and put the gun in the lower part of his back before entering a cassey gas station were keisean had put in a application for a second job. After the robbery keisean drove were he knew police sat on a daily base, keisean kept turning off and on the 1 head light he had and kept swirving to get the police attention, finally the cop pulled him over. Wen after the cop pulled him over for a traffic stop keisean try to tell the cop what was going on the cop from normal turned them both over Bloomington police, after questioning keisean was took in a different room from the camera were he was beat and charge. Keisean Ellis has been beat by guards and they allowed other inmates to attack him. I have repeatedly called the public defender who was a pointed to keisean I called the judge I wrote the white house and contacted the naacp alone with the civil right the sheriff department and the FBI. Keisean heard about attorney Patrick fagan , he asked me to call him, after word we verbally agreed to him being keisean attorney, I explain how my son had been beat how I contacted the NAACP and the fbi and the whitehouse. I told him I wanted a discovery and a report on keisean being beat that I could here it on the phone and how record it and me and my son and the guards the nurse (who refused to give him medical attention) conversation over the phone, how he was not giving phone cards or conversery until 1 to weeks later. Keisean was put in the whole he was on 23 hours lock down he was threatened and put were other blocks were men who threatened to rape him were he was put around raicist white men who called him niggers and who would attack him, false reports were put on him a guy who threat him over the phone wen he called his so called girlfriend she would give him different phone numbers to call her then she would have another guy answer and threaten him, this same guy so happens to get locked up with keisean after I file complaints on the guards. Naacp member has a death in his family therefore did not go to check on keisean until after his face had healed , the gun man writes a letter staying keisean girlfriend and her cuisine set the whole thing up, he was then beating, (letter never went before the judge, in fact I sat in the court room and here the judge repeatedly say/forced keisean having the gun)( in the discovery which I was told I can read and was not allowed to leave the states attorney office with, it states police saw the other guy place the gun on the back seat of the floor of the car.) These people refused to acknowledge a crime was committed against keisean and he was forced against his will. The attorney first told keisean not to discuss this case with me, then I explain I am his mother the one paying him. Then he told keisean nigger if I don't my money you are going to jail , he went on vacation sent his father to court to tell the judge to give keisean 3 to 5 years (keisean is currently Severn 6 years) (double jeopardy) the girlfriend or ex girlfriend bragged about how her family is friends with alot of the guards/and cops there how some of them her and her aunt serve at the bar, how the guards tell her who visit keisean and every thing else she wants to know. She said that she hated him and that she told him she was going to get him. Keisean Ellis is currently in Robinson illinois department of correctional. Were he is still currently still going thru the same treatment, keisean been beating to the point he was forced to lie, even on himself. He has lack of funds and support. I am currently not able to work I am waiting on disability. Keisean worked at Myers store in Bloomington normal,Illinois before this happen to him. Keisean Ellis and his family took care of his children and helped the mother by taking her off the streets of Bloomington normal , Illinois. Were here family left her, while keisean Ellis worked at burger king were he met her, keisean is a heart patient. Keisean Ellis m31993 13423 east 1150the ave Robinson, Illinois 62454 States attorney stated to keisean Ellis after the trail that he would only given keisean Ellis 1year of boot camp because he's never been in trouble before.(keisean is currently on depression medication that is causing suicide thoughts, due to the abuse and mistreatment and not being able to father and be there with his children) ( I am very concerned about him . that guards/white or other inmates may harm him if not himself. Keisean was told after they moved him all over the jail for white inmates to attack him and call him racial names that he won't get good time and may even be shipped out to another facility.)
