"The decision to escalate to deadly force must be explained it is unconscionable to think that such a low-level offense could justify being shot to death by police. The Ghaisar family are entitled to due process, and the public deserves an explanation of why Bijan was killed."Read on Twitter
Here are other recent tweets from Don Beyer:
"Bijan Ghaisars family has asked the Civil Rights Division to revisit its decision declining to prosecute the officers who shot and killed him. DOJ has received sworn deposition testimony from two other officers we understand may cast new light on what happened that tragic night."Read on Twitter
"Nearly five years after the 2017 fatal shooting of Bijan Ghaisar, it remains unclear how a traffic stop escalated to a fatal shooting. While the Department of Justice (DOJ) declined to pursue federal charges under the previous administration, we believe another look is warranted."Read on Twitter
