PROTESTING for INJUSTICE FOR ALL PEOPLE!! We need to prevent police brutality. A family is seeking JUSTICE!!! We need your SUPPORT!! We need 5,000 signatures to get a sentencing overturned by a federal court for a police office that killed a un-armed 68-year-old black man during a traffic stop and after SC SLED recommended he be charged with manslaughter, he was given a misdemeaner plea deal of felony charge of discharging a firearm and sentenced to only 3yrs probation and 80hrs of community service.

I keep looking at Ernest's photo and thinking about how three years of probation can never equate to the loss of a human life. Your messages remind me that this outrage is shared by so many people who see the clear imbalance in this sentencing. We are preparing to reach out to legal advocates who might help us push this further into the spotlight.

Seeing this kind of momentum brings me back to the moment I learned what had been taken from the Satterwhite family. Your response proves that people refuse to look the other way when justice is traded for a light plea deal. This energy is exactly what we need to keep pushing forward for Ernest.

Justice needs to happen, if it was the other way around a black person or other race besides african american they would throw the book at them. They are wrong its time to stand up for justice.

3 years probation for taking a life is a joke. This system is broken and everyone knows it.

HE WAS 68 AND UNARMED. How does anyone walk away from that with just community service? Ridiculous.
