"Giving officers a get-out-of-jail-free card for a fatal shooting after a grand jury indictment for involuntary manslaughter and reckless use of a firearm cannot help but undermine trust in law enforcement in the community. This does not support the police. washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/10"Read on Twitter
"Bijan Ghaisar was unarmed when he was shot and killed, and the use of deadly force that took has life has never been justified. No reasonable person familiar with the case would conclude that his killing was "necessary" or "proper." washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/"Read on Twitter
"Attorney General Miyares misguided decision to drop the Ghaisar case denies justice to the Ghaisar family.A local grand jury reviewed the evidence and handed down indictments which Miyares just summarily overruled. This will cause great pain in our community."Read on Twitter
