Rep. Ro Khanna we support law enforcement. Do you?

Write Ro Khanna

Hi neighbors,

I am concerned citizen who is asking all of you to do a little research and write our Rep. Ro Khanna. Ro is promoting a law enforcement policy under the guise of “social justice” called PEACE Act. He calls it ground breaking and makes it a point that’s it’s the 5th anniversary of Michael Brown’s death in Missouri. In case you don’t know, the US Dept. of Justice did not find reasons to prosecute the officer who shot Brown. Unfortunately it was Mr. Brown’s actions that lead to the circumstances of his death. Also, why does Ro mention Stephan Clark from Sacramento? Again, do the research. Mr. Clark was mentally unstable and had several types of narcotics capable of altering his mental condition in his system. Officers encountered Clark, it was dark, he did not obey commands to show hands and it was uncertain if he was armed. He was shot. The totality of the circumstances lead to the shooting. Ro also mentions Oscar Grant. That use of deadly force was an accident. Do any of you have family or friends in law enforcement? I work in law enforcement support in a local criminalistics laboratory. Ro is catering and promoting a radical “social justice” agenda and not supporting our men and women in blue. In reality, this wording will make it easier for people to sue our police departments (someone call John Burris). A policeman has a very difficult job. Let’s tell Ro how we feel here in Fremont and Newark. I have idea, if an officer asks to see your hands or stop resisting, just do it. How about that? Maybe no one needs to shot or thrown to the ground. There are bad apples in every field. Teachers that molest students, shady mechanics, bad doctors, and shady cops. There are already laws in place to prosecute these people.
