i just want to know what is going on with the justice reform commission here in Philadelphia that Obama put Commissioner Ramsey in charge of? These officers need to be fired for their gang assault on Tyree Carroll. Please tell me what the routine is for stopping a person? What grounds or evidence is needed to pursue a person besides the racist war on drugs aka racist war on black people. The Philadelphia police department needs to retrain their officers to be able to work in the stressful conditions that they signed up for. Thanks to the video recording of this gang assault Tyree will get justice. How many of our sisters and brothers are beaten and killed by police officers and get no justice for this crime against them?

Sunday Boston Globe article starts with Tyree's case.
"The video is no less horrifying for being familiar: a young black man surrounded by about 20 police officers, nearly all of them white, being beaten while offering no resistance. Tyree Carroll had been biking to his grandmother’s home in northwest Philadelphia late one April night when officers stopped him on suspicion of narcotics possession. What happened appears to be a textbook case of police brutality, at least according to the cellphone video of the incident released this month: a chokehold, repeated blows to the face and body, and hurled epithets. A bruised Carroll, the Philadelphia Police Department later said in a statement, was “transported to the hospital after intentionally striking his own head against the protective shield located in the police vehicle.”
The department promised an internal investigation, but has already labeled the use of force justified. The local district attorney, while bringing charges against Carroll for drug possession and assault, has deferred to the department’s assessment. That response underscores the chasm between how the public and the government view such incidents of violence."

We have a critical moment of opportunity.
Members of Congress just announced the most comprehensive federal justice reform legislation in decades!
But unfortunately—that's ALL they have done. No votes have been scheduled. No hearings have been set. And the time for action this year is running out.
Our leaders need to get moving—today. Sign the petition to demand Congress and President Obama work together and take action to fix the criminal justice system:
