Demand Justice for James Garcia in Phoenix
The Issue
On July 4th, 2020, Denice Garcia lost her beloved son, James Garcia, under tragic circumstances that no mother should ever endure. James was taken from this world unjustly, his death a homicide at the hands of Phoenix Police Department officers. Despite the clear indication on his death certificate, the wheels of justice have been painfully slow to turn, leaving Denice struggling every day with the void left by her son's absence.
Denice is not just a grieving mother; she is a prominent and committed member of the Phoenix community who dedicates her life to service and goodwill. Her persistent fight for justice for James is a testament to her strength, resilience, and the love she holds for her son. Yet, the system designed to protect its citizens has become a barrier, as the Phoenix PD hides behind qualified immunity, shielding its officers from accountability.
The family's quest for justice is further stalled in the United States Court of Appeals, where a lawsuit seeking to challenge these injustices has been tied up. It's not just about a legal battle; it's about ensuring that those who are sworn to protect do not become a law unto themselves, acting as judge, jury, and executioner. James deserves justice, and his family deserves closure.
This petition aims to break the silence and push for accountability. We call upon Attorney General Kris Mayes to look into this matter urgently and ensure that those responsible for James' death face the consequences of their actions. The actions of the Phoenix PD officers on that fateful day cannot be overlooked, and a transparent investigation followed by appropriate legal action is imperative.
By signing this petition, you join Denice and countless others in demanding justice for James. You send a message to the Phoenix Police Department that their actions are under scrutiny, and accountability is not optional, but mandatory. Join us in standing up for justice for James and for a fair judicial process that holds everyone, especially those in power, accountable for their actions.
