We, the citizens of The State of Delaware, petition the Delaware House of Representatives, under Article VI of The Delaware Constitution, to impeach Governor John Carney for violating Delaware Correctional Center emergency and preparedness training, policies and procedures governing the rescue of hostages that:

On February 1, 2017, Governor Carney intervened and overruled the Warden's order to retake building C inside the James T. Vaughn Correctional Center where then Sgt. Steven Floyd was being held hostage.

According to aforementioned policies and procedures, the Warden has sole power to handle all building seizures and hostage takings within the James T. Vaughn Correctional Center facility.

Said order by the Warden was directed to a well trained and qualified CERT team within one hour after inmates seized building C taking Sgt. Floyd hostage and during which time it is believed Sgt. Floyd was still alive.

As a result of Governor Carney's intervention and delay of a rescue, Sgt. Floyd was stabbed by makeshift knives, beaten about the head by a fire extinguisher, sodomized, partially decapitated, and burned, leading to Sgt. Floyd's murder during the hours following by inmate hostage takers.

Carnery has proven by his inactivity with the DOC since the murder of Lt. Floyd, that he is incapable of running this state!! He is so unaware of the continued danger the Correctional Officer's put themselves in most of the time working doubles. If they weren't frozen due to lack of Officer's. Due to lack of pay! #impeachcarney

The whole thing was handled wrong and we lost a Brother. Carney needs to be held accountable also.

My hope is that this Governor is removed before he causes another death in the Department of Corrections or anywhere else in the state for that matter!

The governor has not tried to fulfill his duties he said he would !! I think he needs to find another job because he sure is not good as GOVERNOR!!!! He has done so much pushing things under the rug it is sad how he treats the ones who voted him in wishing for CHANGE for the BETTER!!

He was in complete violation of policies. He was negligent from the start and should be named in the lawsuit against the others, He was part of Minner's entourage. If he chose to intervene he made himself accountable.
