Moratorium on tasing unarmed suspects!
Mr. Richard Davis, an unarmed suspect died after being tased by the Rochester Police on May 31st 2015 surrounded by 6 officers. Let's put a hold on using tasers until protocols that save lives are in place like new aggressive behavior training for every officer, the use of the clergy and mental health response teams and implementation of body cameras.
Why is this important?
This petition is about saving lives and allowing suspects their right to the judicial system process where they are innocent until proven guilty. Death on the street via taser plays judge and jury violating the persons constitutional right to due process. These protocols create a team approach between community and law enforcement focused on building trust and maintains safety for everyone! Let's change how law enforcement engages unarmed suspects so everyone lives through it!
