John, video was
just released yesterday showing a Grand Rapids cop brutally executing
Patrick Lyoya after a minor traffic violation – and we need all hands on
deck!!!

It’s a disgrace. A tragedy. The video shows the cop shooting Patrick in
the back of the head while Patrick was on his stomach and the cop was on
his back.

In cases like this, there must be an independent prosecutor appointed. The
Kent County DA interacts with the Grand Rapids Police Department every
day. It is a HUGE conflict of interest for the DA to be involved in this
case in which one of the cops committed a murder.

[ [link removed] ]Please sign our super-petition NOW to demand an independent prosecutor
be appointed for this case. A DA who works with the same police department
that murdered Patrick Lyoya should not be in charge.

John, right now
this cop is still walking around freely, out on PAID LEAVE.

THIS is why we fight to elect civil rights-minded prosecutors who will
hold violent cops accountable.

THIS is why we fight against abuses of state power.

THIS is why we are changing the system from the inside out by replacing
people like DA Chris Becker with good DAs who are committed to
transformative justice.

District Attorneys are some of the ONLY positions who have the power to
hold cops accountable – but they often work hand-in-hand with police
departments to protect them and rig the system in their favor. It is
designed that way.

Patrick Lyoya was a young father.

He was a sibling.

He was a son.

He was a 26-year-old Congolese immigrant living in America and was
targeted by racist police.

The justice system is stacked against people who are fighting for
accountability from law enforcement – like Patrick’s family.

We have to change this system, district by district, so that law
enforcement do not live above the law, and so that families like Patrick’s
can seek true accountability and dignity.

[ [link removed] ]For now, please join us in calling for an independent prosecutor to be
appointed. Your message will be sent DIRECTLY to local officials, and the
more people who sign on, the more pressure we will build to make sure he
does the right thing.

Once you’ve signed, please share this petition far and wide so we can keep
building pressure to make sure this violent cop is held to full account
with an independent prosecutor.

Thank you for taking action with us,

Real Justice
