Keith Justus was the icing on the cake. I been at ZPD for years for their patterns and procedures. Zion approach to law enforcement reflects and reinforces racial bias, including stereotyping..

I think that all criticism of me (la mesha) is actually well founded. It is true that am not local. I operate Idriss Stelley Foundation, a grassroots agency that provide services to victims of police misconduct and grieving family members of loved ones killed by law enforcement, we are based in San Francisco. One of our local allies, who used to live in North Chicago, asked me if I would mind setting up Justice 4 Justus. It is not uncommon for us to do so, we created and moderated Justice 4 Ramarley Graham (Bronx), Justice 4 Shantel Davis (NYC), Justice 4 Victor Villalpanda (Arizona), and many more. the intent is to give a campaign a start, then quickly add local activists as administrators, and offer technical assistance, By no means I intend to attempt making decisions within Justice 4 Justus. I am part of the National Black Lives Matter, and prefer family leadership for such campaigns. If the group is feeling secure and focused, you can vote me out and send me on my way, I would not take offense, SFPD shot my only child 48 times in 2001, and this is why I gave up my career then and dedicated my llife to police accountability work. Surely there are competent and connected activists on the ground in Waukegan and Zion, so you are quite free to take it away without my foundation, or keep us on the side for later help.

Mel if you want free proof reading once the petition text is ready, I can take a look to make sure it is formated properly. you can ibox me privately on my own facebook page. for a petition to be valid. it has to at least include a short paragraph stating the position of the opponents of the petition. It has to articulate clear demands. It should be also cced to the Mayor, the chief of police and the city council. I could have written the petition but I am in san francisco and have no local connections in Zion, out of respect for your community, I think it is best I remain on the bleachers, and that local BLackLivesMatter activists are in the driving seats ! Idriss Stelley Foundation set up this group and manages it on the request of a former North CHicago resident.
