Speak Out Against the Unjust Shooting of a 17 year old youth in Santa Ana!

Santa Ana Police shot and killed seventeen year old Elmer Bustos late January. Police justify the killing by claiming that he shot at them, but several witnesses assert that he did not have a gun, nor did he fire at police. On Tuesday, February 18, at 6:00 PM, concerned community members will speak to Santa Ana City Council to demand police accountability and to ensure that appropriate action is taken to ensure that police shootings and harassment of youth does not continue. Do not allow police brutality to go unpunished. Being a young person is not a crime! Being a Mexican in the City of Santa Ana should not be, either. Let your voice be heard.

The City Council meetings take place at 22 Civic Center Plaza in Santa Ana, in the Council Chambers.
