As a fellow law enforcement officer, I recognize the complex and often tense situations we are unexpectedly thrust into. We are trained to serve and protect the American citizens, but there are instances where politics and bias could turn a fair judgement askew. It's in such context that I’m calling to revisit Derrick's conviction for George Floyd's death.

George Floyd's demise was indeed tragic and has catalyzed significant societal change. Derrick was found guilty for this; however, the trial was subjected to public pressure, which raises the question of its fairness.

The former president's vocal involvement and the medical examiner's contentious past could potentially have skewed the verdict, turning a legal proceeding into a stage for political maneuvering. It's troubling to see the weaponization of political power against an American citizen—a predicament any of us in law enforcement could face if we were in Derrick's shoes.

This isn't about diminishing George Floyd's tragedy, or condoning what happened. On the contrary, it's about ensuring that the foundations of our justice system—unprejudiced examination and fair trial—are upheld.

In the interest of true justice, the trial should be revisited, this time with an impartial lens, far removed from any political influence or bias. This way, all doubts about the case will be obliterated, and we can stand firm in the confidence that justice served is indeed justice earned.

We call on the relevant authorities to re-evaluate Derrick's case—in the name of justice, in the name of truth. Sign this petition and stand up for an unbiased criminal justice system.
