We spoke at Phoenix City Council today.
Advocated for the changing of Robert E Lee Street and S-—w Peak Dr. Phx CC ultimately voted to rename it after months of delegation. The opposition’s reasons for keeping the offensive names were absurdly disconnected. The People won. 🖤
AZ Mayor Kate Gallego & PHX Police Chief Jeri Williams : Arrest Officers Jeff Cooke & John Ferragamo for the murder of Ryan Whitaker - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/NVo1Zexr7k via @Change
Some officers are wrongfully killed and get justice. Ryan Whitaker was also wrongfully killed but because his killer wears a badge his story isn’t heard. An innocent life lost, is an innocent life lost no matter what #JusticeForRyanWhitaker
man killed by cops seconds after complying while doing nothing wrong, JUSTICE FOR RYAN WHITAKER, since when is it standard procedure to have your guns drawn before a threat is present? https://t.co/orlcxNjChK
@PhoenixPolice When is the Phoenix PD going to give Ryan Whitaker’s family justice? If Officer Jeff Cooke is still on the force then Phoenix PD is part of the problem. He should also be arrested and charged with manslaughter at minimum. Unbelievable. #justiceforryanwhitaker
GRAPHIC- Bodycam footage shows Phoenix cops knocking on Ryan Whitaker's door. Robbed weeks earlier, he opens with gun in hand. They tell him to put it down but Ofc. Cooke still opened fire, killing him. Another instance of reckless police behavior. Cooke must be held accountable!
@PhoenixPolice One of your officers murdered #RyanWhitaker He was shot in the back! He was an innocent man and you’re all ignoring it and lied about it from the beginning! You should be ashamed of yourselves! Fire Jeff Cooke and John Farragamo immediately #JusticeForRyanWhitaker#JusticeForRyan
