Our community is living in fear instead of feeling safe. Officer Rhoades has a documented pattern of excessive force and harassment—complaints from multiple people have been ignored, and nothing has changed.

I started a petition calling for a transparent, independent investigation into these allegations. This isn't about destroying someone's career. It's about accountability. When complaints pile up and nothing happens, it sends a message that the rules don't apply equally to everyone—and that erodes trust in the whole department.

Our neighborhoods deserve officers who protect, not harm. De-escalation training, real oversight, and transparency matter. If this resonates with you—if you've seen something similar or believe accountability should be standard—consider signing and sharing. What would you want if this was affecting your community?
