I've started what will likely be a string of petitions for police reform.  TIME FOR CHANGE.  Please, sign the petition and share this message with your friends if you agree:

Subject: AMENDMENT TO THE MISSOURI CONSTITUTION REQUIRING ALL POLICE TO WEAR AUDIO AND VIDEO RECORDERS WHEN ON DUTY

Hi,

The police are armed, have the right to detain us, to seize our assets, investigate and monitor us, and to use deadly force against us.  If the officer that shot Michael Brown had been wearing a recording device there would be no question about what actually happened.  There would be no need for an investigation.  We pay for the salaries of the police, we pay for their jails and their cars and their guns.  They work for us.  We have a right to know how they are doing their jobs.

That's why I created a petition to The Missouri State House, The Missouri State Senate, and Governor Jay Nixon, which says:

"In the State of Missouri all uniformed police are required to wear functioning audio and video recording devices when on duty."
