Stand Up for Transparency and Respect

Hello, my name is Matthew Sanders, and I am reaching out to you today to share my story and seek your support. I am a resident of Johnston County ], and I have always believed in the importance of community safety and the need for accountability within our law enforcement agencies.

On September 19, I had a troubling encounter with Corporal Atkinson of the Selma, North Carolina police department during a routine traffic stop. The situation escalated in a way that I believe raises serious concerns about police conduct and the treatment of citizens. During this encounter, Corporal Atkinson exhibited a hostile demeanor and attempted to interfere with my ability to document the incident by stopping my camera from recording and even trying to delete the footage. Fortunately, I was able to recover the video, but the experience left me shaken and questioning the integrity of those sworn to protect us.

I am raising funds to cover legal fees and any necessary expenses related to seeking accountability for this incident. Your contributions will help ensure that our community is informed about the importance of holding law enforcement accountable for their actions and that we advocate for transparency and justice.

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference and help amplify our voice in this important matter. Together, we can work towards a future where everyone feels safe and respected in their interactions with law enforcement.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for your support. Please share this campaign with your friends and family to help raise awareness about this vital issue.

With gratitude,

Matthew Sanders
