We want Police Officer Matt Dages FIRED and CHARGED with a Misdemeanor!!

The Issue

On May 27, 2020, in La Mesa, California (San Diego County), Police Officer Matt Dages Badge Number 1281 was caught on video displaying Police Misconduct Physically, Police Harassment, arrested  and committed perjury filing false misdemeanor charges against innocent 23 yr. old civilian Amaurie Johnson.

After the community protesting in La Mesa, reviewing of the released cop footage and support from Attorney Geneviéve Jones-Wright, all charges were dropped.

Dropping the charges against Amaurie Johnson is not enough!!

Amaurie‘s Constitutional  Rights were Violated!!

 Accountability in law enforcement builds trust between the police and the community.

Charge Police Officer Matt Dages. Take away His Badge!!
