The States’ Attorneys General must be given the authority and charged with the responsibility to immediately investigate and prosecute killings of all unarmed civilians by law enforcement officials. The Attorneys General must also have the power to investigate the deaths of incarcerated persons who are shown to have been victims of police brutality at the time of their arrest.
Why is this important?
America needs to live up to its claim of Justice for All. Currently there is no justice for people of color, who need to fear for their lives, their children and loved ones, at the hands of those who are sworn to protect them. Congress needs pass legislation to combat brutal acts of racism, discrimination, and intolerance by authorities in the United States. Unfortunately there are too many victims to list, but I'm launching this petition in memory of Sandra Bland and the Black Lives Matter movement she so boldly embodied.
