“she fell to her knees she couldn’t even breathe
Her son has been a victim of police brutality
she rushed Jordan to emergency
And every time she looks at him it hurt to see
her son in a hospital bed in pain
police took no blame and claim its how they trained
Jordan got charged but when it went to court
We found out the police falsified their report
They said a neighbor called the cops crying
She got up on the stand and said stop lying
Now the whole community wants justice for Jordan
And the cops charged for the crimes they reported
Call the DA and tell him to press charges
we demand justice and we just getting started”

please pass this around/contact the DA if you can. if you call, if you stay on the line after the recorded menu, someone should pick up and be willing to take a message for the DA. if you get disconnected, try again — it should work eventually.
the website also has a petition (link).
EDIT: and i think the DA’s email is feedback@da.allegheny.pa.us
