The DA is Balking

This Wednesday’s Vigil for Amilcar, 6pm, Mission Police Station

Mission Station is where the officers who killed Amilcar are stationed. We continue to shine a spotlight on them. We haven’t forgotten what they did!

Please join us for this week’s vigil.

When: Wednesday, August 3, 6-7pm
Where: Mission Police Station, 17th and Valencia Streets

On July 25, several of us asked San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón why, after a year-and-a-half of investigation, he has not filed murder charges against the officers who killed Amilcar.

Gascón said he expects to complete his investigation in 6-9 weeks from last Monday.

He claimed that, even with solid eyewitness testimony and two separate autopsies, he still lacks enough evidence to prosecute them. He also blamed the current rigged system that protects officers who kill from prosecution.

We don’t buy it

As Public Defender Jeff Adache notes, despite whatever obstacles the rigged judicial system puts in his way, the DA already has all the evidence he needs to bring this case to trial.

But it takes courage. True, the DA will face much opposition from the California Law Enforcement community if he files the charges. But he can’t let fear keep him from doing his job.

We demand our day in court.

What YOU can do:
Call the DA: (415) 553-1751 

Tell Gascón to do the right thing.
Say what’s in your heart. If it helps, use this script:

Save the date
