Just over a year ago Ronald Ritchie “SWAT-ed” John Crawford. John was a black male who was walking in Walmart. The prank call profiled him and said he was walking around Walmart with a gun. The police turned up and shot him dead.
REMEMBER: Walmart 911 Caller’s Whose Lies Led to the Death of an Innocent Man Will be Indicted
A Greene County prosecutor refused to bring charges against officer Sean Williams and the 911 caller Ronald Ritchie.
However, a petition has been started to try and get those charges laid down.
The Change.org petition says:
The problem that needs to be resolved is that their has been no accountability at all in the case of John Crawford III, he was killed in a Walmart in Beavercreek Ohio after a caller profiled him to be a threat and lied and said he was waiving a fire arm at shoppers in the store thus causing law enforcement officers to come to the scene. When the officers arrived per the store security camera John was shot immediately. He didn’t have a chance to drop the item that is sold by Walmart. By bringing charges and accountability to all involved parties of his death, it will show that human life matters and if you take it, someone has to be held accountable for it.
The petition can be found here.
