Subject:ACTION FOR CHRIS
Hello,
My name is Tanya and I am a resident of Orange County, California reaching out to you in regards to the death of
Christopher Eisinger.
In 2018, Christopher Eisinger was killed by five Anaheim police officers while walking down a sidewalk. The five officers
held him down for over 5 minutes with their knees on his head, neck, and back until he suffocated. They exerted so
much force on Christopher that he ended up with five fractures in his face and his eye out of his socket. Once
Christopher stopped breathing, not one officer attempted to save his life. Instead, they stood by and waited over 8
minutes for the paramedics to arrive. Christopher was an unarmed Black man who deserves to still be here with us
today. Since his death, none of the officers who murdered him have been charged or reprimanded for their actions, and
are still working. Anaheim PD has a long and dark history of brutality, and as long as these officers continue to have their
jobs, innocent killings of more Black people will continue to happen.
I demand that Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer reopen the investigation into the death of Christopher
Eisinger. Todd Spitzer must press charges against all five officers and Anaheim PD must fire and remove the mentions of
all officers involved in the killing of Christopher Eisinger, including the training officer. The Eisinger family will never truly
have justice because a son, father and brother was taken from them but the city of Anaheim and Orange County must
take responsibility for their actions against one of our own.
I demand action now!
