• Change Shoot to Kill Training
    Stop the senseless killings... I ask that you all stand with me to prevent another senseless act of violence... Removing the Shoot to Kill Law is a very necessary change that must take place. This change is in order to protect our citizens, families and anyone else who may fall under this scope. Many Law Enforcement Officers were taught Shoot to Kill during their training and are still being taught this harsh and Unjustified means of Murder. I ask that this senseless law be Taken Under Consideration and changed to a Shoot to Wound. Amendment: (1) I ask that more thorough background investigations be conducted Semi Annually for each officer that is involved in a shooting. (2) I ask that all officers participate in a Mandatory Diverse Communications Training to be able to articulate and handle individuals from different Socio-economic backgrounds. (3) Officers need to be more open and easier to approach when conducting community policing. This will help build better relationships with the public. (4) I ask that the academy training be changed to Ninety Days in which each officer participates in a Thirty Day Ride Along in addition to the usual On The Job Training. (5) I also ask that any officer found to be bias or guilty of not adhering to the laws be immediately terminated and dismissed. You took an Oath to uphold and obey the law at all times. This Oath needs to be protected and Honored. Each and every life counts. What if this were your son, daughter, husband, wife, sister or brother? Would you still think it was justified because your loved one didn't STOP and fall to the ground immediately? You are by law required to identify yourselves as police officers at the scene of any arrest just as we are required by law to carry identification. I ask the People to know and learn their rights as citizens. It's time to stop the violence...

  • United States Police Training Reform
    All civilians are affected with the interactions between Police and the Communities across this nation. A National training reform is in order, now more than ever before. Black people are in fear of being gunned down due to the fear of poorly trained officers. Community Policing is needed, and budgets should not be cut in this crucial area.

  • Department of Justice: Ask the Supreme Court to rehear the U.S. v. Texas case
    Due to Senate Republicans’ refusal to fill the U.S. Supreme Court vacancy left by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, a partisan lawsuit attacking President Obama’s executive actions on immigration was affirmed by an equally divided Supreme Court. The U.S. Supreme Court recently issued a 4-4 split decision on a Republican lawsuit that sought to derail President Obama’s 2014 immigration executive actions, known as DAPA and DACA+. Legally it’s as if the Supreme Court never heard U.S. v. Texas, meaning that the Court’s failure to rule has left in place an anti-immigrant injunction blocking the implementation of DAPA and DACA+ -- leaving millions of immigrants across the country without the immigration relief they so desperately need. By failing to rule in U.S. v. Texas, a short-staffed U.S. Supreme Court has effectively put the lives of millions of immigrant families on hold; denying them the opportunity to apply for a work permit or a driver’s license. If we want to ensure that the Supreme Court can appropriately interpret the law of the land, then cases like U.S. v. Texas must be reargued before a full Supreme Court. We demand that the Department of Justice recognizes the extraordinary circumstances surrounding the U.S. v. Texas case, and does everything possible to limit the scope of the injunction and file a motion for rehearing pending the confirmation of a ninth Supreme Court Justice.

  • Cops that kill MUST be arrested and held w/o pay.
    Daily cop killings of U.S. Citizens with no accountability. If they get arrested until proven innocent and have no means to provide for their family while under arrest, this will most likely make them think twice before pulling the trigger.

  • Wrongful Removal and Adoption
    Because I was violated of my Constitutional Rights the 4th Amendment, the 6th Amendment, the 9th Amendment and the 14th Amendment, and everyone that I wrote to in Kentucky has paid me no attention, I want Justice. A lot of families that are moving out of town to Lexington, Kentucky are being torn apart because they want to adopt kids out for money. They are supposed to try and reunite families together, but instead they tear families apart. Something needs to be done because we all have rights; they don't abide by their own rules to help families.

  • Justice for Philando Castile
    As a citizen it is very alarming to no longer feel safe and secure from the very people who took an oath to protect and serve. We as a people, no matter race and/or ethnicity, deserve respect from the individuals our tax dollars pay to service us not murder us!

  • Justice for Abbie
    Rape is Rape and No means No! Our children's safety should be a priority. She is 14 yrs old and was raped by an 18 year old and no charges were pressed. In fact after the Governors Ombudsman requested the detectives press charges they chose to close the case. Please help us get this reopened and get the justice my daughter deserves.

  • FBI Investigate numerous kidnappings, multiple child rapes, physical and mental abuse, and death ...
    Only 1 man was investigated, pleaded guilty to a lesser charge. Numerous young women were greatly harmed and are still suffering from years of abuse and threats. Many powerful rich men were involved, the incidents took place allegedly on private jets, mansions and even a private island. These frightened girls, now young women, never thought they had a chance at justice or to receive help. They and their families need help.

  • Congressional Hearings on Police Violence/Shootings
    Another citizen appears to be murdered by those pledged to "Protect and Serve" without justification. It's time for accountability in our LE community. Congress should forgo another investigation based on political reasons and hold meaningful hearings aimed at getting answers and solutions. I'm calling on the US Congress to convene hearings in response to another murder by LEOs of a US citizen. Law Enforcement officers are accountable, not above the law they've sworn to uphold.
