Brandon was the father to not only my kids but others you’ve taken a big piece of their life they’ve now lost one of their biggest cheerleaders they won’t have him there for their biggest mile stones in life his oldest graduates in 4 months and now he won’t be in that crowd
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 grew up in a violent home. Over 20 years later, children are suffering the same I did due to little protection from Iowa law. It’s time for change.
Morgan supported: Help me update Iowa’s 1979 definition of domestic abuse.Iowa’s domestic abuse law hasn’t been updated since 1979—and that’s a serious problem. Abuse isn’t just physical. I am a DV survivor of emotional and psychological abuse, and I live with PTSD because of it. The law must recognize all forms of harm, not just the ones you can see. Survivors like me deserve to be protected, heard and believed. It’s time for Iowa to update its definition and stand with all victims.
Mercedes supported: Help me update Iowa’s 1979 definition of domestic abuse.Animals are just like children and babies in that they are completely innocent and completely vulnerable. They cannot protect themselves from any human intent on doing them harm. This is not someone punching a wall in anger; this is someone hurting in some horrible a sentient creature exactly like humans. We must protect them. We must strengthen our laws so hopefully people might think twice about causing them pain or death.
Jeanne supported: Demand for Stronger Animal Protection Laws in IowaAlmost every single girl who has reached the point in her life when she starts having a cycle needs access to feminine products. I am not the only girl who has bled through her pants because there were no free products available to me(Which is highly embarrassing). You won't find many people walking around holding random change in their pockets and purses, especially in today's world where most people use cards.
Arianna supported: Support HF883 to provide free period products in Iowa public school bathroomsYou’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
