Eighteen-year-old Israel Hernandez-Llach was an award-winning artist in Miami, Florida – a painter, sculptor, photographer and graffiti artist. He was armed with nothing more than a can of spray paint, threatening nothing but the wall of an abandoned McDonalds, when the cops chased him down, tased him, and allegedly laughed and high-fived as he lay motionless and dying on the ground. Israel's family is awaiting his autopsy results to conclusively determine the cause of his death, but what we already know is that Tasers are dangerous and can kill, especially when misused by police. And this is not an isolated incident. The Miami Beach Police Department has an appalling record of using excessive force, including firing over 100 bullets at the car of a drunk driver and falsely arresting a witness who called 911 to report police beating a handcuffed gay man. On top of that, Florida has the 2nd largest number of deaths by Taser in the country. The events of Israel’s tragic death have devastated his family and sparked national outrage over this use of potentially lethal force to deal with a youthful indiscretion. The Miami Beach Police are currently under investigation, but without better guidelines and training for use of Tasers, we can’t guarantee that there won’t be more needless tragedies. That’s why we need to act now, while Israel’s story is in the spotlight, and call for change. Sign the petition urging the Mayor of Miami Beach to order a change in the police department’s Taser policy – to help prevent more needless tragedies.

The parents of Ramarley Graham, with the support of the citizens of the City of New York, hereby implore the United States Attorney’s Office and the Department of Justice to prosecute Richard Haste and others for the grievous civil rights violations which resulted in the tragic and senseless death of Ramarley Graham. Last week, it was reported that Federal prosecutors will review evidence for possible civil rights violations in the death of Ramarley Graham, who was 18 years old and unarmed when he was fatally shot by police officer Richard Haste. On August 7, the charges were dropped against Haste. This letter is to ask that priority be placed on the Justice Department's review so that charges may be filed and justice served by Richard Haste going to prison for what he has done. For Ramarley Graham, we will not go away and our voices will not diminish nor be muted. We need your help.

My daughter along with 3 other victims have been the target of a "sexual crime" & "sexting" case with one of their previous teachers. The teacher is married to an attorney and this we believe has made this man able to "cut through" the system in a manner that is un ethical. He may serve no prison time for having sex with a 15 year old as well as praying on the lives of the other girls.

Private prison companies make billions from torture and confinement. We can stop this by holding prison companies' investors, board members, and public officials accountable. Please join us in urging investors and board members of for-profit prison companies to get out of this exploitative business. We'll inform them of what they're involved in, and if they refuse to do what's right, we'll hold them publicly accountable.

June 1, 2012 my teen son Blake Cooney and his friend Jimmy Bullock were killed in a hit and run by a Drugged Driver name Kevin Shelton in Little Rock, Arkansas. My son was killed on impact and his friend died later at the hospital. Kevin Shelton chose to ingest into his body, "PCP" other street names, "SHERM,"Wet" etc. a Chemical Compound containing Formaldehyde, Methanol and other solvents, it is a highly flammable and toxic poison, its purpose is to temporarily preserve the dead so that a funeral or burial may take place. Kevin chose to ingest this poison causing him to drive on a residential highway which runs through a highly populated neighborhood at 95 m/h in a 35 m/h speed zone first crashing into the vehicle of an off duty officer along the way striking and fatally killing Blake and Jimmy whom were walking on the sidewalk then fleeing the scene. He was charged with Negligent Homicide receiving 240 months he will be eligible for parole in 7 yrs, he was sentenced February of 2013 and as of September 25th 2013, only 6 months into serving his sentence, he has been considered to participate in the 309 ACT, which would grant him the luxury of working in a least restrictive environment, cutting grass and washing cars at a sheriff department. Research, evidence and mounting cases of deaths caused while driving under the influence of drugs (other than alcohol) is all too common, keep in mind that this particular drug "PCP" when ingested has not only caused fatal deaths while driving under the influence, but also has continuously been the result of countless deaths by the physical hands of an offender having committed heinous criminal acts while under the influence of this drug. This lethal concoction of pure blunder has indeed resulted in several horrific deaths and an everlasting cycle of grief, Despite the facts prosecutors have been lenient in their efforts of prosecution, conviction and sentencing. 17 states have adopted DUID Per Se Laws and Arkansas is not among them. Please sign this petition so that the Blake Cooney Law may be brought to life, hopefully it will bring about awareness, prevention and perhaps a change in tougher Legislation.

This is my uncle that I love dearly that was not given a fair trial he has suffered in a hell hole for 10 years now on a case of people who knew nothing about my uncle so decided to choose isaac pike in massachasuttes federal prison because they were to scared to testify on who the real people involved in this incident would do to them. So now my loved uncle has to suffer because of someone else and the system a person could go kill someone today wearing a hoodie that llooks like there up to no good kill him and get off a free man what kind of world or we really living in so I ask everyone please for your help.

Gov. Brown is trying to pull a bait and switch. He's proposed raiding the budget surplus created by Prop 30, so he can throw $715 MILLION down the black hole of California's prison system. Gov. Brown claims that his hands are tied. He claims a court order mandating him to reduce prison size by 10,000 has forced him to spend billions more in taxpayer dollars over the next 5 years. Don't believe the spin. The Los Angeles Times and Sacramento Bee editorial boards don't; they've ripped apart the Governor's approach. According to the Brown Administration's own proposals to the court earlier this summer, California can reduce its prisoner population by 10,000 through smart, proven, and most importantly SAFE strategies that emphasize rehabilitation, increased prisoner firefighting brigades, "good time" credits in which prisoners earn early release, and the release of elderly, sick, debilitated prisoners that pose no threat to society. Here's the truth: Gov. Brown is afraid. He and our Democratic legislators are terrified of being labeled "soft on crime." We need to convince him there's another way. If you care about schools, universities, infrastructure, and vital services, sign the petition.

I have watched cars swerve all over the road only to pull up next to them and see they are on their phones! Our death toll is rising and accidents are skyrocketing! It's time we crack down hard on this and make people aware of how bad it is to drive while texting or calling someone! I urge all of you to sign this petition and save our children and families!

Over the past 30 years, for-profit prison companies have reaped billions in profits from the mass incarceration and detention of human beings while earning a track record marred with mismanagement, human rights abuses, and indifference for the health and safety of those incarcerated in their facilities. At a time when many states are walking away from outsourced prisons, California Governor Jerry Brown is seeking to expand the use of for-profit prisons to alleviate the state's current prison overcrowding crisis. Join us in urging Governor Brown to invest in sustainable solutions to mass incarceration in California and NOT in private prison companies that profit from pain!

SEC is the most corrupt organization Big financial institutions like J.P.Morgan and Goldman Sachs still continue to involve in naked Shorting and Criminal shorting procedures. For example: Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) a leading chip maker recently posted very good Q2 and also forward looking statements for the Q3 Goldman Sachs have a very large short position. We really don't know when they will cover. We have written to the SEC, FINRA about the illegal shorting of shares by Goldman Sachs. Since Goldman Sachs has influence with Democrats and Republicans, no action had been taken by SEC. We suspect SEC and senate members are involved in this illegal shorting of shares through Hedgefunds and financial institutions. A number of leading analysts have posted positive reviews on AMD and have raised projection targets, but the shares have not moved at all. THe criminal shorting continues with no cover date posted anywhere. The company had been posting all great products, but the financial institutions are spreading false rumor through many different sites and keeping the share prices down. Goldman Sachs downgraded and had short positions with AMD Then, there were articles everywhere that AMD's chip Kaveri will be delayed. That caused the companies share prices to lose 5% in one day. AMD clearly called those rumors as not true, and Goldman Sachs and the hedgefunds that had short positions continued to manipulate through different source: Digitimes Again AMD shares dropped another 3% http://seekingalpha.com/article/1661062-amd-digitimes-rumor-not-relevant-to-investors?source=yahoo Again, AMD clearly told investors that the rumors are false. Now, IDC research data published an article on slowing PC sales and the timing of the article clearly suggest that the Market Makers and hedge funds including Goldman Sachs are continuing to short and degrade the value of AMD. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/pc-growth-also-slowing-in-emerging-markets-idc-2013-08-29?siteid=yhoof2 How long will this nonsense continue? We want SEC to investigate Digitimes, IDC, and Motley fool. Individual investors are creamed every single time and no one is there is to take any action. We have written to the White house and even the president is silent about it. Goldman Sachs has been involved in this criminal practice for a very long time. Naked Shorting is still there. SEC have done nothing. We demand action for 1. Who is involved in this criminal shorting other than Goldman Sachs 2. The company has posted improved projection sales and revenue, and an average of 20 million shares are traded every day and the stock price has not moved an inch. Who is behind this criminal manipulation Why is the White house silent on Goldman Sachs? When will they take action? WE DEMAND ACTION IMMEDIATELY - not after 5 or 6 weeks or after 6 months. We need SEC to investigate TRADES IMMEDIATELY and all connections to Goldman must be investigated. SEC complaint:Reference Number: TCR1377896536827

My petition demands that Congress put justice back in our criminal justice system by fundamentally reevaluating why and how we convict and incarcerate -- and the best ways we can empower people who have been incarcerated to succeed once they rejoin society. But criminal justice goes beyond just prisons. Since 1980, the number of people under community supervision -- either probation or parole -- has risen by more than 250%. More than 7 million people live under supervision of the criminal justice system. Without programs to help offenders rehabilitate, reintegrate, and stay in touch with their families, offenders are more likely to reoffend and take another trip through this ineffective, revolving-door system that costs us $74 billion per year. But more devastating are the impacts on the inmates' children and families. Not only do they lose the income and direct support from their incarcerated parents, but innocent children who have a parent in prison also suffer emotional trauma, social stigma, and destruction of their familial relationships. We can do better, and we've started to in Newark with smarter reentry programs. But our cities and towns can't do this alone. The federal government must reform the system where it controls it, and support innovation at the local level.
