This is a call from the people of Vallejo and Solano County to fire every member of the Vallejo Police Department deadly "fatal 14" who have not already been terminated. We also call for every member of the fatal 14 to be arrested and convicted for the murders they committed of mostly unarmed Black and Brown men. Vallejo PD have never been held accountable and they are protected and enabled by the city. Since 2010, members of the Vallejo Police Department have killed nineteen people—a higher rate than that of any of America’s hundred largest police forces except St. Louis’s. They also have been reported to allegedly ritualistically celebrate these murders by bending the tips of their badges, to commemorate the count of their murders. According to data collected by the anti-police-brutality group Campaign Zero, "the V.P.D. uses more force per arrest than any other department in California does. Vallejo cops have shot at people running away, fired dozens of rounds at unarmed men, used guns in off-duty arguments, and beaten apparently mentally ill people. The city’s police records show that officers who shoot unarmed men aren’t punished—in fact, some of the force’s most lethal cops have been promoted."
