Jon Melrod denounces DA Ravitch

In 2021, at least 1055 people were murdered by the police, consistent with the national average of approximately 1000 deaths caused by police bullets a year. Even in the most egregious examples of wanton, unjustified use of lethal force, prosecutors rarely file charges against the police. Why - in most cases prosecutors review ‘evidence’ gathered by police to make the determination of whether to issue charges. Examples abound - Breonna Taylor (Louisville), Michael Brown (Ferguson), Jacob Blake (Kenosha), Stephon Clark (Sacramento) AND 13-year-old Andy Lopez in Santa Rosa, CA. Andy’s crime - returning a toy gun to a friend’s house.

In the Youtube video Jon Melrod denounces Sonoma County DA Jill Ravitch for failure to indict the killer cop Erik Gelhaus for Andy’s murder.
