When federal prosecutors ask for just one day in jail for a police officer convicted of violating someone's civil rights, what message does that send?

Brett Hankison, the former officer involved in the raid that led to Breonna Taylor’s death, was found guilty of violating the civil rights of her neighbors. But now, the Department of Justice wants him to serve just a single day behind bars—despite career prosecutors recommending over five years.

This isn't justice. It's a betrayal of public trust and a dangerous signal that federal accountability doesn’t apply when the person violating civil rights wears a badge.

We are calling on the Trump administration to take urgent action to fix this broken system. Federal prosecutors must be required to follow sentencing guidelines in civil rights cases—especially when victims are harmed by those sworn to protect them.

If the Justice Department won’t hold law enforcement accountable, what hope is there for real change? Breonna Taylor’s life mattered. Her name deserves more than this.

Sign this petition if you believe a one-day sentence isn’t justice—and that no one is above the law.
