My son was Murdered by a Pueblo County Sheriff's Deputy on March 14 2020 he was 20 years old. Since then I have learned that everything that normally happens with an investigation is just the opposite.
1. The police investigate themselves.
2. The same district attorney that work with law enforcement everyday is the decision to whether charges are filed or not.
3. The family of the victim are not treated like victims more like the defense.
4.the numbers are astounding there are 900 to 1000 police involved deaths every year since 2005 only 3 officer's have been convicted 22 acquitted and 21 still face charges that's really unbelievable. We all know about Eric Garner and Mike Brown and Rodney King and Kelly Thomas. So only 46 officers charged with a criminal act since 2005? That tells us the system is broken.
Jesse's Law is just in the beginning stages but what we are going to propose is that an Independent entity needs to handle Police involved inquiries even when it's a officer being charged with a crime such as DUI. A separate entity needs to also be formed to prosecute these cases as well.
Jesse's Law will be the someone to police the police
I made this petition to see what kind of support we would have to really get this written into law.
The momentum is undeniable. This is proof that justice for Jesse is a goal we share.

If you take a life unjustly, you deserve to pay... regardless if you’re a officer of the law, it should be a stiffer penalty since they are supposed to be trained.

Jesse needs justice. Officers need to be held accountable. Officers should not have a license to kill!

I am so sorry for your loss. As a mother, I can’t imagine the horror of what you and your family are going through. As a mother-in-law of a police officer, I pray every day for him, my daughter, and my grandchildren that they , or I should say we will never have to endure police overkill! Taking away there guns is not the answe, but I do agree on what you are proposing. And I don’t believe in internal affairs, they are still in the same police unit, just a different department. I pray you get justice, that is why I am signing your petition! God Bless all of you

This needs to be done not only for Jesse Cedillo but for anyone who has been abused by police officers. Who abuse their authority. The DA needs to start prosecuting anyone who abuses the authority!!!! Please MR. DA take care of the public thus can't be ignored any longer!!!! What happened to Jesse shouldn't have happened he had his right to face the Judge and deal with the consequences that officer took his life when his hands were up 12 to 13 bullets that is wrong and you know it what would youse do if it was one of your own or one of your family members. JUSTICE FOR JESSE CEDILLO!!!!
