Violence and Murder of Americans by Police Skyrocket With Militarization

It has become apparent that there is a growing terrorist threat to the American people.  This threat does not come from ISIS or any country, this threat is domestic and grows more unacceptable day by day.  It it the threat from those who are supposed to protect us and serve us, the police.  

With the militarization of our local police departments and guidelines written by sociopaths more and more Americans are being brutalized, tortured and murdered by the police than ever before.

SWAT teams originally formed to deal with terrorists and hostage situations are now routinely used to serve warrants for non-violent crimes.  Typically they will attack in the wee hours of the morning and smash in the door without a warrant, completely destroy most of the item in the home and if anyone in the home has anything in their hands murder them claiming to have seen a weapon.  In most instances these are imaginary weapons, but in every instance the police are exonerated by claiming they felt threatened.  Also in every instance when a police officer kills they are rewarded with two weeks off with pay and six months later given an award for bravery.  This has to be stopped.

There is also growing evidence of widespread use of steroids in many departments that contributes to the violence perpetrated on Americans.  Several states have acknowledged this problem and have drugs testing but mostly as with the murders the police and the departments they work for conceal this and protect their own.

Therefore I have initiated two petitions with We the People.

The first calls for an investigation into the skyrocketing killings of unarmed Americans by the police.  You can vote for that here:

Instruct the Justice Dept to investigate the skyrocketing number of murders by police of unarmed suspects nationwide. http://wh.gov/lF0GT

The second petition is to institute a policy of drug testing any police officer involved with the killing of a suspect within three hours of the event.  You can vote for that here:

Require mandatory drug tests within 3 hours when a police officer kills someone. http://wh.gov/lF0o2

Please sign, tweet and share these petitions and help make American once again safe for Americans.
