John T. Williams Investigation Petition.

G'day Everyone.

Important to say that John T. Williams was a man shot to death by a newbie cop on the streets of Seattle. This petition is a clear call by the Deaf Community into a proper investigation:

I ask that you please review this petition. If you agree, sign it. Show the Police Departments that we will not stand for our ADA law violated just because some cop has to go gun-ho with an innocent deaf person.

This post is for John T. Williams. He shall not be forgotten.

Semper FI.

It is not clear yet, according to reports, if this gentleman truly was hard of hearing. What IS clear, is that even the police department is not sure if this was a justified shooting yet. So. irregardless of whether or not he had a hearing loss, it is a tragic event and possibly a bad shooting. Also, he was not a "rookie" cop, he had 2 years experience on the force. I'm not supporting one side or the other right now, waiting for the investigation to find a result first.

I click the link.

It says the petition has been expired or taken down by the sponsor.

What's the meaning of this? I wonder.

i found the same thing. i did a search and found this one:

i think this one is worth signing as well. it's tremendously frustrating how the Police in all cities can kill people and then get desk duty as a consequence. four shots to the chest, deaf or not, it makes no sense given the lack of actual attack on John Williams' part. i denounce this type of preemptive police behavior in general.
