Subject:JUSTICE 4 CHRIS
Hello,
My name is Bianca Williams 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!
Sincerely,
Bianca Williams
