On January 24, 2022, Jordan was walking his dog when he was unjustifiably approached and stopped by two Albany police officers and thereafter shot multiple times in the torso by a member of the Albany Police Department. As a result of the events on January 24, Jordan stands charged with Menacing a Police Officer and Attempted Aggravated Assault upon a Police Officer, which carries a mandatory term of imprisonment. Considering the circumstances of Jordan’s case, the charges against him cannot be allowed to stand. The pain and anguish that Jordan has experienced is fueled by a law enforcement culture that routinely dehumanizes those with mental illness. By signing this petition, you join in solidarity with Jordan, his loved ones, and the countless other people suffering from mental illness who are needlessly harmed or killed by law enforcement. By signing this petition, you join all other signers by calling for community-based alternatives centered on the diverse needs of people with mental health issues and people of color, instead of dehumanizing them.
