Why this petition matters

Started by Chance Nunez

It's been all over the media, the unfortunate incident at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde Texas when on May 24th, 2022 a gunman took the lives of innocent children and educators. The police are here to protect and serve, yet their safety was more of a concern than the ones of defenseless children. They had bullet proof vests, tactical gear, helmets and firearms but were worried for themselves. The students had nothing. Our tax dollars are going to the police, yet they are not doing the job we pay them to do. Firing these so-called public servants would be too easy, meaning they can find employment in another state.

Under § 606.19 DERELICTION OF DUTY is defined as: Failure to prevent or halt the commission of an offense or to apprehend an offender, when it is in the law enforcement officer’s power to do so alone or with available assistance.

There shall be no thin blue line to protect these public servants, just like any other citizen, they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The day they decided not to cross their thin blue line, was the day we needed them the most. 

How many officers do you know that have gotten away with crimes due to qualified immunity? Countless, still on the job collecting their welfare money from US, the people. There is actually a petition started to abolish qualified immunity.

Lets readdress our government...WE are not ANTI-Cop...we are anti-bad cop.

They had the opportunity to save lives. They are willing to engage with unarmed people because there is no danger to THEM, but when there is an armed suspect, they cower and stand idle while children are being killed. Lets hold these officers accountable for their cowardice.
