Fresno – Dozens of people gathered in front of the Fresno Police Department, calling on Police Chief Jerry Dyer to step down, or be fired.
This, in response to a string of officer involved shootings, that have killed several suspects.
“It’s shoot first, ask questions later. If that can’t be stopped then chief dyer needs to go. We’re saying he needs to go,” said Juan Avitia, a protest organizer with the grassroots community group Fresno Brown Berets.
Among the protestors, relatives of 32-year-old Steven Vargas who died when an officer opened fire, after he crashed into a parked van on McKinley Avenue.
“He was not on parole, he did not have a weapon. How do you justify shooting someone 9 times?” said Jessica Villanueva, a relative of Vargas.
In each incident, Chief Dyer says the officers found themselves in a situation where they feared for their lives.
But family members say, that doesn’t console them.
“We want justice. We have to stand up against this, that was not okay for them to kill him,” said Becky Barrena, a relative of Vargas.
So far this year, there have been 11 officer involved shootings in Fresno, 6 of them deadly.
Last year, there were 8 officer involved shootings, and two were fatal.
The chief has said each shooting was justified.
“We don’t want to sit back and watch police shoot people, and mothers grieve, and not do anything about it. We want to show the community, it can be done, you can stand up to the police,” said Avitia.
The Fresno Police Department says they have no comment about today’s protest.

COINCIDENCE OR NOT:
The City of Fresno conspires with Wilbert Swieso (former employee of the City) in targeting various residents for elimination. In some cases, poisoning the victim to create a monster is how the City of Fresno justifies the atrocities. I know, because it was done to me. It was done to my friend (now deceased.) More.
With unknown chemicals continuing to be administered without my knowledge, the City of Fresno set my my family and neighbors up for annihilation in order to seize control of our properties so they could be rebuilt on top of the secretly replaced water system. Mission accomplished. My family and neighbors on 3 sides left dead; properties taken by fraud; shoddily rebuilt without permits or inspections. With my credibility totally destroyed due to my behavior while being poisoned, in addition to public records altered to cover up the evidence of what took place, then-Mayor Alan Autry instructed the risk analysts behind this to commit perjury to call me a “liar.” I was prohibited from help, justice for the murders, or restitution for what took place. I was not even allowed to file a report. Instead, I was issued death threats and sexual harassment if I continued to expose this.
Robbed, raped, poisoned, hidden cameras, tapped phones, pets killed. Reports to Police were disregarded as I continued being called a “liar.” Even after providing a copy of verified VIN altering, Police called me a “liar.” (Eberwein Auto Repair.)
Home left a shambles, now setting on top of corroded, clamped sewer and water lines; insurance sabotaged so I could not file a claim for anything. My home was built in 1942 – owned by my family since the early 60s. It was well-built and in immaculate condition – it is now crumbling. Be sure I did not authorize to have it rebuilt without permits or inspections, let alone on top of this trash. This alone should be verification enough of the horrible condition I was being kept in as all this took place – doing this to someone while they are a care provider is as low as it gets. The City’s unaltered water layout further verifies exactly what took place.
(Imagine the nasty water or how long before these corroded lines break.)
It was not intended I would still be alive. Fraudulent legal documents had been prepared; fraudulent life insurance policy as well.
Despite a reward for information, facts behind the “unsolved” murder across the street are not allowed, because it took place behind more secret replacement of the water system, followed by more altered public records to cover up the evidence. His next-door-neighbors lied about the facts before, during and after the shooting murder because they were involved in the preparations for what ensued. They moved around the corner and not only repeated the process, they were again used as “credible witnesses” that nothing took place on my family’s and neighbor’s properties – including burglary, major reconstruction, suspected homicides and attempted murder. Discrediting their victim (poison, hidden cameras, fraudulent lawsuits, etc.) is how the City and their mob get by with the atrocities.
Example: This man was poisoning me with attempt to kill. He boasted of eliminating his former wife and her family, describing her behavior the same as mine while being poisoned. He said I would be meeting them, “in another world.” Signatures of his former wife were verified by an expert handwriting analyst as being FORGED. Yet all he had to do was call me “crazy” – it was never looked into.

I am not familiar with the Police shootings although I recently read that one of the victims had chemicals in his system. So did I – administered without my knowledge. Turning me into a nightmare to justify heinous crimes committed against my family, neighbors and me. Stripped of all human and civil rights, left unemployable and in fear for my life, the City of Fresno made me appear as a criminal while portraying themselves as victims – no one sees beyond the smokescreen.
Not accusing, just wondering …… did any of these shooting victims reside on property that had not yet been turned over so the water system could be secretly replaced?
