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 PoliceHow can anyone have faith in the judicial system watching the Common Wealth VS. Karen Read case? I approached this case objectively like I do with all trials, so I had a very unbiased opinion at the start! Shouldn’t a defendant in any case, as their constitutional right, have a fair trial? Judge Beverly Cannone is stripping the defendant her rights to a fair trial! “God save the common wealth” is a sentence that should be said as “God save the innocent from powerful, corrupt figures in Norfolk County!” There needs to be change, votes matter. Get DA Morrissey out of the office, his influence is apparent as in his connection to Judge Beverly Cannone! Tax payer’s dollars should not have to pay for “expert” witnesses that cost $400,000 for 8 months of work! The world is watching this case, we need our judicial system to be trusted and the innocent set free! I am praying for all of the citizens of Massachusetts! Any one of you can be Karen Read!
Jenn supported: Restoring the Faith; Removal of Judge Beverly Cannone (CW vs Karen Read)Demand for Justice and Oversight in the Case of Karen Read**
To:
The Office of the Massachusetts Attorney General,
The U.S. Department of Justice – Civil Rights Division,
The Office of the Inspector General – Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
And other relevant authorities,
**We, the undersigned,** as concerned citizens and advocates for justice and accountability, write this petition to urgently bring attention to the ongoing case of **Karen Read**, a Massachusetts resident currently facing criminal charges under circumstances that have raised profound and alarming questions about the conduct and integrity of the investigation and prosecution against her.
### **Background:**
Karen Read has been charged in connection with the death of Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe. However, since the beginning of this case, **multiple inconsistencies, conflicts of interest, and irregularities** have emerged involving law enforcement, prosecutors, and other officials handling the matter.
Public concern has grown due to:
* Allegations of **evidence tampering or withholding**,
* Reports suggesting **collusion among members of the Canton Police Department**, local prosecutors, and others,
* An **apparent lack of transparency** from the Commonwealth,
* Perceived **bias or misconduct within the judicial process**.
These allegations have led many to question whether Karen Read is being denied her constitutional rights to a fair trial and due process.
### **Our Demands:**
We respectfully request the following:
1. **An independent federal investigation** into the handling of Karen Read’s case, including actions by the Canton Police Department, the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office, and any involved officials.
2. **Immediate review of judicial conduct** and whether any judges overseeing this case have failed to maintain impartiality or allowed prosecutorial overreach.
3. **Full public disclosure** of all relevant case files, evidence, and communications that have been withheld or redacted.
4. **Protection for whistleblowers** and any individuals who have attempted to bring forward information about misconduct related to this case.
5. **Accountability** for any public officials found to have acted in bad faith or in violation of their oath to uphold justice.
### **Why This Matters:**
This case goes beyond one individual. It is about preserving the **public’s faith in the legal system**, ensuring that **no one is above the law**, and protecting citizens from the devastating impact of **corruption or misconduct** by those in positions of power.
We demand transparency, fairness, and truth—not only for Karen Read but for every citizen who relies on our justice system to operate with integrity and honor.
### **We, the Undersigned, Call for Action.**
Respectfully,
Carmen Martinez

Carmen supported: Restoring the Faith; Removal of Judge Beverly Cannone (CW vs Karen Read)As a tax payer in Norfolk County I am appalled. I began following this case with a perspective led by faith in the judicial process. I presumed likely guilt. I listened with an open mind until it became clear that, at minimum, a proper investigation was never done. And because of that John OKeefe will never get justice.
Es supported: Restoring the Faith; Removal of Judge Beverly Cannone (CW vs Karen Read)to have a biased, judge blatantly continue to ignore ethics rules, and the corruption that is obvious to everyone watching Karen Reid‘s trial. She still ignores the corruption in this trial and we need her removed. She has ties to the witnesses. She has picked the FORE person for the jury, she put troop of Fanning in charge of the jury who has a conflict of interest since he’s a witness I could go on and on with her bias she never let the Defense talk. She shuts them up she disregard their evidence and their emotions. She has a long-term friendship with the DA Morrissey, who is a targeted investigation of the FBI because of the corruption that stems for many years, the corruption of a Birchmore case Enrrique case in the Karen reads case this needs to stop this Judge Bev will never give karen a fair trial because of her ties with the DAs office. She has manipulated this trial and it’s been going on for three long years. They should’ve never went to trial since Karen Reid‘s rights were violated right from the start with a non-investigation and pinned on the girl, no logs, no chain of custody videos being thrown in the middle of trial even after trial, I can go on and on and on, and she’s done nothing about it please remove this judge so karen can have a fair trial. No one will ever have any confidence in the Norfolk counties troopers, Canton police officers or judges because of her.
Dianne supported: Restoring the Faith; Removal of Judge Beverly Cannone (CW vs Karen Read)As a taxpayer in Norfolk County, I am appalled that a proper investigation was never conducted, denying John O'Keefe any chance at justice. Initially, I followed the case with faith in the judicial process and presumed likely guilt, but listening with an open mind made the failures undeniable.
