Chrystal supported: Demand Justice for Brandon Mitchell, Shot by Des Moines, Iowa PoliceI had the opportunity to meet Brandon in Fort Dodge prison 5 years ago. I picked up our friendship back on the streets but have since changed my life and walk in the kingdom of God now. Brandon was a good person and just because you have a past that does not define you as a person. Everyone deserves to be treated fair and no man with a gun, police officer or not has the same power as God to stop our clocks. If you are scared then get a different job, but don't just start pulling the trigger and try to explain later......That's not justice. R.i.p Bam.....
Donnell supported: Demand Justice for Brandon Mitchell, Shot by Des Moines, Iowa PoliceI had the privilege of getting to know Brandon during one of the most difficult times in his life, and in that time, we became true friends. Despite the challenges he faced, Brandon remained a kind-hearted and respectful person. He never let his struggles define him, and he was working hard to overcome them.
Tragically, his life was cut short by the reckless actions of a few officers in the DSMPD, officers who failed to follow proper protocol, lacked the necessary training, and, most importantly, failed to see Brandon as the human being he was. Where was the communication? Where was the compassion? Instead, they took the life of a father, a son, an uncle, and a friend, someone who deserved understanding, not judgment.
My heart breaks knowing that Brandon was unfairly labeled by a flawed justice system. He was more than their assumptions, and he was fighting to build a better future. I was so proud to see the progress he was making.
Rest in peace, my friend. Until we meet again. Your family will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
Michael supported: Demand Justice for Brandon Mitchell, Shot by Des Moines, Iowa PoliceBrandon was the father to my 3 children. He loved them more than words can explain. While he was struggling to correct the mistakes of his past and barreling through the riptide we know it’s like getting out of the legal system once your in there, his life was taken. I have spoken with him many times in depth with tear running down the both of our faces about how badly he just wanted to do better and be better for all of his children. And now because the Des Moines police couldn’t execute a warrant check without non lethal options he will neverrrrrrr have the chance become the man I knew he could be. He will never again cheer his daughter on at her softball games, he will never again be in the baseball stands or football stands rooting for his boys. He will never be able to teach them how to change a tire or do an oil change. (we all know Brandon loved cars) So much taken by taking his life. He was unarmed, there was NO need for lethal force to be taken
Ashley supported: Demand Justice for Brandon Mitchell, Shot by Des Moines, Iowa PoliceI stand with the 1,056 supporters advocating for justice for Trevontay Jenkins. This issue matters to me because it highlights the urgent need for accountability and justice in our communities. Everyone deserves to feel safe and valued, and when injustices occur, it impacts us all. By supporting Trevontay and his family, we can push for necessary changes that benefit everyone.
Let’s unite our voices and make an impact!
