Kelly Frazier, President of the Northside Coalition of Jacksonville, said: “Officer Justin Peppers must be immediately removed from duty. Sheriff TK Waters is putting the public in danger by having this officer remain on the force after he has 'demonstrated a history of repeated infractions of JSO orders.' The Sheriff has said only illegal behavior will get an officer removed from duty and that is unacceptable and shows a lack of accountability in JSO. Peppers has not learned from his mistakes. His behavior will eventually cause a lawsuit that will cost taxpayers money. We must move to eradicate the culture of racial discrimination and brutality at JSO.” Reference: https://www.firstcoastnews.com/article/news/crime/jso-officer-exhibited-unbecoming-conduct-during-traffic-stop-black-veteran/77-9caeb26b-79c3-469b-ba89-62c625ecfc79 https://actionnetwork.org/letters/fire-jso-officer-justin-peppers-for-racist-brutality
