The Issue

Aaron Bailey was driving just before 2 a.m. on June 29 when police pulled him over for a traffic violation near the intersection of Burdsal Parkway and Riverside Drive. For still-unknown reasons, Bailey sped from the scene and crashed into a tree near the intersection of 23rd and Aqueduct streets. Moments after the crash, two IMPD officers Carlton Howard and Michal Dinnsen ,who had pursued Bailey exited their vehicle and fired multiple rounds, striking Bailey four times. He was taken to a hospital where he died. An autopsy determined Bailey suffered gunshot wounds to his back, chest and upper shoulder areas. His family said they counted at least 11 bullet holes in his vehicle.  

The officers involved in Aarons murder faced no consequences. They need to be fired and prosecuted. Bailey posed no danger, and there was no reason to open fire on him, ending his life.
