thank. you. everyone's story is different our last half is different you don't know what's actually going to hit you. and i was pretty comfortable in my life before this happened. certainly dobbs ferry. got me into this. you know i was a middle child and contrary he was the day. this is some day he was doing to just you know make sure he can money in his pocket. the list i had to look out

for you can but nothing happened to to the bait. i just hope that people can understand that it was a person who didn't deserve to die who didn't deserve to be shot fourteen times. already. i'm sure a lynching widow are. me and i was like most about injury were u.s. marines at home at the park he sounded really you know not really our ordinary you know. what he looked like to me that day was just

a student during the end of the semester and which is the park taking a break a waltz right across the street here came up this way and i'm sure it was laying right here like a little better roll in a backpack his head was here and this feet are pointing west and the person i was working with that day called the police because they were concerned about him being so close to business. the first officers approached him they said. they talked and then they left my coworker's time at how they were going to call again and i said you know if he was doing something illegal they wouldn't have just walked away and left him there. a second call was made anyhow. and the officers actually came back up to us and they said hand there's nothing to enforce he's not written clock please stop calling. and honestly i even forgot to tell later when the third officer showed up. and well we were towed when the

call a day's facts it went to the cabs. and the message of the cops. truck. parked this officer called in the news just there are some. already here old are. just sort of forty six nothing and does friends told him that it was clear over real park r. and if you could create a trouble with. this officer of them when you told them to get up off the ground the officer began to pet him down. i heard them cracks on the sounds of kind of fighting into me grown man like wrestling essentially the officer apparently backed up and threw his top tier individual twisted away from the officer pulling the

toilet out of his crib. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the weapon once missed and then what happened on tree swung at the officers hands didn't hit him i never saw any contact with. any kind of went back to where they were so the officers back here their fight again fifteen feet apart at this point and that's when the officer pulled out his gun and aimed it on tree. i knew it was going to happen so i turned away. after i counted dromore shines. very very hard hard hard hard. hard your very meager my very very near you and your narrow my own way i mean wired and are guarded or want to help right now are very not a hundred. million nor do i want to. write

only when i was. gone i mean. every day day i didn't see the new subject the good that beat the officer with the wouldn't be taught striking him in the head the officer with the police detectives came to my house put me in a cart end of the about all my son. you know in the course of my mother in his car from like thirty to forty five minutes i was puzzled like what. was the problem and i tell them. this. trade you are saying. because of his illness he has been able to keep.

the doll so they were sitting next to me put it down and i asked what's going on. well that was our. part. and i was in a scuffle with a police officer in the tray is the safest. you tell me my brother did just not tell him this this and his words were we thought he would have seen it on t.v. . good afternoon the decision is a thirty one year old male by the name of don tre hamilton now in the course of our investigation into his background we have learned that this is not his first experience with the walkie police department as recently as last year and moves on

thursday afternoon chiefs lives first words were i don't want to demonize this man . but he was. homeless a robber and all these type of things that he was one other events he's been arrested for armed robbery and for disorderly conduct he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and until recently according to his grieving family they've been acting strange and they stick to this mental health issue because when you hear mental health you think crazy so if they can put in people's mind said that this was a crazy person who attacked the officer then they feel that they have leverage within the community we have violently mentally ill people whose violence is a direct result of their untreated mental illness. they are on the streets of our cities because there is no place else for them to go and their families cannot.

detect and then why did they take so long to tell us what happened and. they said the name. this is a is a wallet. and this writer see. that's saying on this and they have proved all the time is this is the with of. chief flynn said that we need to do a better job into this that is something that is very true. but the train have the mental illness to not kill him that officer murdered my brother. because they

didn't know one way or another if you had a mental illness until my mom was questioned in their car forty five minutes. rear when i met her i believe damien was two years old. they may grow up to be the overseer of his brothers jr he always was them. before one or you know. trey was more quiet. he had to get to know. and you didn't see any of the sickness coming and entre as he was brought up as.

me with a different turn it is six where his decision on whether he's going to are strong. and they are just been trying. to get their way. so today i want to argue i mean what i know now. then i want to be still. i you see i'm not running around. it is hard to put into words the turmoil at the screen right now they are just having a tremendous time dealing with the fact that there hasn't been a resolution charging decision as we had believed that it was going to be the day for that. they're not going to make any mistakes any time you're looking at the police use of force to use the results of the free tell the that's a homicide investigation. you're determining whether they had

a legitimate subjectively reasonable basis to use force under the circumstances. this particular case is complex because of occurred in downtown milwaukee you know late afternoon work day and you literally had hundreds of witnesses and those have to be interviewed you have to look at the forensic evidence. that train never showed any. any kind of noise or. she was lonely and drab. in the home. and no one in my family no one. knows. when they even having known this not only with schizophrenia and what do we call them. friends came with them housed and he would always. are or he

will say just like they do if. you don't leave. them. in the boat. that was uniquely. and he's gone to rest now with the same god that created them. is that illness is nothing to be afraid of is not then to run from is nothing and. they anybody's to die for.

oh. lord. have a bit to my mouth here at home are for you no. more. modern. was on the. company. i think gone into a nihilistic fever that's why i think and got it hit the road think it out the traveling across america to find what makes america take the charlatans the genius

of this place especially american hero this is it we've come a point around which allen would have done so we always are on the brightest and. most gun culture. we're starting west with is going to headed east into the swamp we're going into the belly that the i think i want to leave now doesn't get any more ground zero this may be completely different but the end of this year. when i came back from iraq now marijuana her was. anything that's altering trying to get us out. that bad. use of the camera would be so. i want to be drinking and drinking. just killing myself. to get drunk alcoholics drink to

feel normal. that's why i now call it's this way drug addicts do what they do shop while still bringing their. star cool under which these guys are going through to do it it just needs to. reduce need to be helped and not good pushed on by the v.a.'s ours drugs bill and stuff they need to be helped. and they just really shouldn't be looked at like numbers they should be looked at like people if they go to a veteran center for health issues be considered as someone who really needs attention and. the topic that we have selected is titled a collaborative response to crime and violence in the community and the others in the audience who were on the committee

. she did. all acts and limply the john terry hamilton case for the better part of six months was agreed by everyone including the family to have been a tragedy arising out of untreated mental illness in a public space the result of violence yes which is what this was dealing with the outcome of the formulas that these are the mentally ill you're the guy you really eat out all the services have you any other big cities we've got a problem with untreated mentally ill people who have no options. it seems us gone . back on your meds and it was a mental health issue in april once ferguson broke suddenly as a racial issue. and this is to the shooting of michael brown. we're hearing that there may be many more and there. a lot of bald faced

opportunists who latched on to this family and decided it wasn't a mental health story anymore it was a race story. that it. started to call is for justice started because we were at a rally i did oh i think we need to reflect our history that has culminated in. this kind of i still just get new to all this process but i saw a lot of courage in any clue this meant. i would say i'm a non-confrontational person but they're not saying serious. even though john is hurt. just want to try they can move on with his life. and there are a lot of good they have forgotten to write what happened that day so it will. be their

. dinner i ask everybody else. it's just. like almost five. after man was shot by our son. bought her. her. mouth over. looking at life through the truck was working protests causing some chaos on the sconce an avenue cars are not able to get behind these demonstrators they are upset over the shooting where they are one months ago the trade hamilton. was the likely to support the bill. that. was i'm. when i first heard the news a report on my world down trade i have

a robbery on his record you know but i think they just had it tangled. think i just turned eighteen. but had a baby. so me and then some older guy and some younger guy and i think we've got a couple lottery tickets and i watch anything like what is no more fifty dollars. but the next morning two detectives came to the house they basically handcuffed me right in the liberty on. an island doing eighteen months and commit corrections to sixteen years they say it's. some of those life lessons right there needs to be a better person. yes i make mistakes but i don't think anyone can home me to the

standard of what i was seventeen years. or so. i have the opportunity to speak three penalties mother and his brother and one of the things he made clear to me that they're interested in is restoring the dignity of their son to name their son's name and in particular several items one tree was not homeless second he was not an armed robber. and so i want our community to know that he was neither homeless nor was he an armed robbery. my understanding there's a team. i'm foreign to time for he's. just

fifteen and it was rough for you know single parenting you know working every day it was cool and it leads to some stuff that i did no one. ask my days that still have my nights it is good fifteen years right you know. brianna walked into the mental health his neck was broke his back was broken three places he laid in a diaper for three days begging for his life so. i'm still i still don't know what . her son was shot fourteen time on which i said you're you're not as much just six somebody is worse than we make right but i'm glad to be a part of this because i want to see something happen. and then why are our want to go there the caraballo. think it is worth. i had a son his name was michael bell who was killed on november ninth two thousand and

four. he was coming home with a night out with friends designated driver he came intoxicated. michael's like you're too drunk to drive i'm going to drive michael was under the influence of alcohol but you can look on the gas cam video he's driving perfectly straight up in front of his house and just then a squad car pulls up behind him and my son got out of the car because he was at his own home but the officer pull up to get back in the car get back in the car. cording to offer testimony and saw this other guy in the front seat and he dragged michael and he took me on the back of a car off camera. under getting down. the tase multiple times ran to the back of the house. michael was accused of boy rushing an officer here and this is actually

a car that was here it was hasn't moved in in ten years and sadly that's that's the area when michael michael died. you can see. michael was shot in the morning of november ninth two thousand and four on friday they really really it was justified before crime matter ports were complete before autopsy risk complete before witness statements or even taken they were they they held their own thing and i will adjust the five. here's a picture of michael i'm a veteran and i always felt that i was really a brother with law enforcement. i was a captain this was my copilot navigator and boom operator it's time for twenty three years i go out and believe in a democratic principle just to come home and have a police officer killed my child and then think i'm going to give fair and due process and the doors pretty much shut in my face. to. his death on.

news reports throughout the years we have i go to governor doyle at the time i go to the attorney general they don't even bother to give me a copy but this is the contract for billboard that owning the already ran it and i had to resort to full page ads in newspapers and billboards to get heard to justifiable but the city settled out of court with bell's family mychal bell's father use the settlement money to put up billboards around the state calling for a change in the way these investigations are handled backing a bill that would require officer involved deaths to be reviewed by an independent authority. to see what. what profession is fine in this case the south you cannot have colleagues and asking colleagues and think you're going to get an objective report you're not and there's no profession earth who can do it so why would we expect that of law enforcement when the stakes are so high.

the law had just passed and the john tray hamilton case happened a week later and i don't think the city was ready for the new laws require that it be an outside agency other than the marquis police department to investigate the evidence to interview witnesses collect the evidence that would then be provided to the district attorney's office what we found pretty early on in this case is what really was walking police department detectives the did the investigation. was these. only investigations that get there fast freeze the scene identify witnesses and get a preliminary idea of what happened this day downtown or we can just stand around for the what are some possible witnesses were all gone home.

when d.c.i. got there it became their investigation. that outside investigation was done by the d.c.i. . best case is has a lot of different agencies on him but the ones that investigated entrées case was ex milwaukee police officers special agent david miller bundy spent twenty five years at n.p.t. and collecting a city panter number five thousand dollars a month special agent gilbert hernandez spent thirty five years in a. challenge here of course this concert is where the only big city. there was the state is overwhelmingly world in suburban white the walk is where the homicides occur i can't get a copper for dram or to come here and know what to do about a homicide investigation of the challenge quite honestly is the what or how many levels of review you read for some folks that review doesn't result in

a police officer under arrest it's not bully. i live with a mental health issue do i look like a criminal to you. i'm here because i want your support i want your help but i can't do that if i'm afraid. shack fourteen times so we're wrong in all these all this officer which say they want you these good reasons is a band so i am saying they sided with a right wing christian for being the way through this really interesting. thank you very much i have. to. be here not. for this is a vicious and it's time to stop. we

have to look in more detail workers for manning came from. worse to burn it worse he raised it did he have black friends did he have mexican friends. and when you look into his record more in-depth you know that he had a communication problem. yes seventeen other occurrences where he either use excessive force or he used to play which he had a sexual assault on his record and we see the klan was starting to get in out of traffic here going up to cars with squirt guns in trying to even beat up a white clown into a grandstand and that's when things got heated in the incident is all caught on camera. and.

it doesn't help us you know my back want to know what it was on those they don't like i if. they asked but i. get. there so you'll know i lost his boss because i left you know that then you just gotta go with us as you know i can just about anybody i'm on a month although it doesn't but that's honest i don't know if it has been you about . joining us as you know but it was you're not. you know just i mean what almost what it i'm already but it was sped up out of me just going to be a i mean it was the lord we're going to go with. the first up i must admit that he was i just will get off on getting worse but the. in the.
