The Resignation of DA David Prater
The Issue
Isiah Lewis (17) was naked, unarmed, and having a mental health crisis when he was murdered by an Edmond officer. He wasn’t met with services or help, but shot in the face, thigh, and groin. Derrick Scott (41) was approached by several officers with their weapons drawn. He ran out of fear, but when pinned down by officers he pleaded and said he couldn’t breathe. An officer replied and said “I don’t care.” Both of these men were murdered by law enforcement and we have yet to see justice. Oklahoma County District Attorney, David Prater, has had ample time to review and reopen their cases, but refuses. DA Prater has also charged Black Lives Matter protesters with terrorism, given excessive bonds, and are holding them as political prisoners. Despite more than 13,000+ signatures to reopen the case of Isaiah Lewis, 27,000+ signatures to reopen the case of Derrick Scott, and 8,400+ signatures to drop terrorism charges against protesters, the DA has done nothing. We will no longer tolerate his blatant disregard for the Black community, criminal justice reform, police brutality, and our first amendment rights. We are calling for DA David Prater to resign or be relieved of his duties!
