NASHVILLE, Tenn Police Chief Steve Anderson Must Resign
We, the people, demand Police Police Chief Steve Resignation.
We are calling for the Immediate resignation of Police Chief Anderson who has too far ignored the MOU terms from MNCO, collaborations with the public outcry over policing and excessive use of force by MNPD and lack of trust from communities in our great city. Chief Steve Anderson, for too long, has ignored the racist policing from his Departments and lack of accountability and trust within residence in our great city.

Why is this important?
On June 3, 2020, the Metro Nashville Community Oversight Board (MNCO) was notified of a shooting that occurred within the MNPD district of and lack of cooperation’s within several of request. Under his leadership as Chief of Police we have seen senseless killing of innocent’s civilian in our great city namely - Jocques Clemmons and Daniel Hambrick and other black citizen in our community. Chief Anderson’s was responsible during his times as chief of MNPD the racial profiling of innocent citizen in Traffic stops and heavy fines by MNPD towards Black community’s in Gideon’s Army report “Driving While Black. He has allowed the MNPD use of excessive force and hindered progress in our city and his services are no longer needed. In many MOU terms written by the community Oversight chief Anderson’s deliberately slow down request from the MNCO and misinformed the committee in many of their request. We therefore urge the public to stand in solidarity, shoulder to shoulder with our fellow African American and Black Lives Matter Nashville and other communities rallies and request the resignation of Chief Steve Anderson.
In these connections, we as communities can longer these senseless killing as norms by MNPD. We recognize that our society is at a pivotal juncture where we must step up to build a better system and Justice for black community and other minority whom have been oppressed, abused, and ignored for far too long. Enough is enough we need a bold change and that starts with the departure of Chief Steve Anderson.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter which is of urgency.
