South Bend Police Officer Aaron Knepper has been involved with multiple civil rights violations in our community and recently brutally attacked a man and his 76 year old mother during a non-violent arrest. No action has been taken against this police officer, and is still on duty in your community, and you are paying his salary. This petition is in place to show Mayor Peter Buttigieg that we will not stand by and live in fear from our own public servants. We demand that Officer Aaron Knepper be terminated effective immediately or that he step down and resign.
