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 PoliceHaving absolutely no access to phones during an 8hour period of the day away from home is ridiculous. Staying in the loop when it comes to extracurricular activities as well as work and home life are all important. Being unable to do that whatsoever and being punished for doing so during non-instructional time is so unethical. And for student safety reasons.
Alaina supported: Revise Chesterfield County's Phone Policy to Allow Access During Non-Instructional TimeHaving absolutely no access to phones during an eight-hour school day is unreasonable. Staying connected with extracurricular activities, work, and home life is important for students, especially when balancing these responsibilities. Being completely cut off and punished for using phones during non-instructional time is unfair and unnecessary. Additionally, from a safety perspective, what if a student is experiencing an emergency or needs to contact someone immediately? Denying students access to their phones in these situations is not only unethical but could also put them at risk.
Eddie supported: Revise Chesterfield County's Phone Policy to Allow Access During Non-Instructional TimeWhat if somone is having a medical emergency and they can’t notify there parents and are far from the school nurse and can’t notice the teacher or an adult example there in the bathroom phones are important because they can save a person or even there own life .
Daniela supported: Revise Chesterfield County's Phone Policy to Allow Access During Non-Instructional TimeI think we should be allowed to use phone during non instructional hours such as class switching (in halls), and during lunch. Some students need there phone throughout the day to check and see if they have practice or even figuring out how they will get home. I think that the phone policy is too over powering as some teachers will directly take the phone off your person (out your pocket) if they see you were on it. Think about it how is a student using their phone during lunch or in halls effecting their learning not in anyway that is effecting them. If I have air pods in my ears in the hall how are you gonna take my air pods when im just listening to music and minding my business? That makes no sense and is over the top. Also I have seen people get smart watches taken for just looking at the time. How in anyway is a student effected by checking the time.
Jayden supported: Revise Chesterfield County's Phone Policy to Allow Access During Non-Instructional TimeI often get panic attacks and not having access to my phone is the worst. Sometimes I need to text my parents to calm me down or bring me home and I can’t. Going to the school nurse doesn’t help, because they want me to just “cope” but nothing helps when you’re literally in the middle of a PANIC ATTACK. Also, I’m really lonely and have awful social anxiety and have a hard time making friends. Having my phone during lunch is very helpful since it gives me something to do and makes me feel less awkward sitting alone.
