Nikki Haley: We need an investigation of our police force
Police authorities in Greenville, South Carolina are reviewing video of an arrest at a Walmart store Saturday afternoon where an officer can be seen repeatedly punching a victim in the head as shoppers beg him to stop.
This comes just two weeks after the death of Michael Brown has sparked a nationwide conversation on the overuse of force by police officers. Will you sign this petition asking Nikki Haley to take an active role in the investigation of South Carolina police?

Why is this important?
I have not been personally affected by this event or the events in Ferguson Missouri, and I don't want to be affected by similar situations in the future. I am a student here in South Carolina and think the conversation on police brutality, excessive force, and over-militarization has been ignored for long enough. If we respect all of our citizens in this state, we have to make sure the police force will do the same, unlike in Missouri.
