3:37 pm
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's no place else for them to go and their families cannot. stand intact and then why did they take so long and tell us what happened and. they said the name i did. this isn't his wallet. and this writer see. yes. they have closed

3:40 pm
so. today there not one charge i mean what i know all. of them that are going to be released. i use another run around. it is hard to put into words the turmoil in the streets 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 mistake any time you're looking police use of force to use the results of the faith tells you 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 have hundreds of witnesses and those have to be interviewed you have to look at the forensic evidence. that train never

a child. that was uniquely may. 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 not then. they anybody's to die for. i mean. what politicians do you should. be put themselves on the line to get accepted or
3:43 pm
rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something want to be rushed. into going to be press it's like that before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters and out. west sydney. you want to make sure that the qualities of just a slogan of misery but that also is associated with the rise of the star that the believe how can you have a rise in this the bike has means to reach savings investing. increasing the size over the mission. so that you can to steve bould to everything.
3:44 pm
but there's someone else living inside of me like controlling my body. the byproduct. the drug the the cause like severe depression. because it will meet him into a zombie it's crazy. you know and we don't have to do anything it's not our fault you know issues crazy and all that. took years traumatic. long time to get rid of. the comic that we have selected is titled a collaborative response to crime and violence in the community and there are others in the audience who are on the committee. she did. all. this and clinically the john terry hamilton case for the better part of six months was
3:45 pm
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 upcoming reforms of the southeast and the mentally ill you're the guy you're the all the services have you any other big city 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. this is to the shooting of michael brown. we're hearing that there may be many more and there were a lot of bald faced opportunists who latched on to this family and decided it
3:46 pm
wasn't a mental health story anymore it was a race story. to start to call is from just started because we were at a rally i did oh i think we. have culminated in. this kind of i still just get new talk on this process but i saw a lot of courage in a clue many. i would say i'm not confrontational person but then i take serious. even though john is hurt. just won't try hard to move all of his life. and it will all go to hell for god troy what happened that day that will. never be there comes down i asked everybody else. just.
3:47 pm
what i almost bought. after man was not her son. bought her for. her. help out of a tough. looking at life the first truck was working protests causing such a also on the scouts an avenue cars are not able to hit by these demonstrators they are upset over the shooting at red card one months ago the trade hamilton up was likely to support the bill. that. passed out on i. when i first heard initial reports on my were down trade i have a robbery on his record you know but i think they just had it tangle.
3:48 pm
think i would just turn eighteen. but had a b.b. day. so me and robin some older guy and some younger guy and i don't think we even got a couple lottery tickets on the watch for me to feel like what is no more fifty dollars. but the next morning two detectives came to the house they basically handcuffed me right in the liver on. your mind up. doing eighteen months in the corrections with a sixteen year stay seems. some of those life lessons right there no need to be a better person. yes i'm a mistakes but i don't think anyone can home me to the standard of what i was just seventeen years.
3:49 pm
old. i have the opportunity to speak to a penalty his 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 robber. oh my understanding there's a team. i'm going 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 mentally to do some stuff that i didn't know. i still get my days i
3:50 pm
still have my nights it is good fifteen years right you know but brianna bought 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 asked out of the way. her son was shot fourteen time was just that your you're not as it was just it's somebody is worst and we're 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 know this carol oh i think if. i had a son his name was michael bell who was killed on november ninth two thousand and four. he was coming home with
3:51 pm
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 dash cam video he's driving perfectly straight pull 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 said 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 the car off camera. under getting down. multiple times ran to the back of the house. my coat was accused the 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
3:52 pm
area where 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 lab reports are complete before autopsy risk complete before witness statements are even taken they were they they held their own thing and it will adjust a five. here's a picture of michael i'm a veteran and i always felt that i was really a brother of law enforce. when i was a cab then 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 doors pretty much shot in my face. this data is there news reports throughout the years we have to go to governor doyle at the time
3:53 pm
to go to the attorney general they don't even bother to give him a call but this is the contract for a billboard that only a minority ran and i had to resort to full page ads in newspapers and billboards to get her to justifiable but the city settled out of court with bell's family mychal bell's father his use of the settlement money to put up billboards around the state calling for 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 and asking yourself 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 nurse who can do it so why would we expect that of law enforcement when the stakes are so high.
3:54 pm
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 the scene. leave us to gauge as they get there fast freeze the scene identify witnesses and get a preliminary idea of what happened the day downtown or we can just stand around for the what are some possible witnesses were your own home. when d.c.i. got there it became their investigation. that best case was done by
3:55 pm
a d.c.i. . investigation who has a lot of different agents on him but the ones that investigated entrées case was ex milwaukee police officers special agent david the bundy spent twenty five years at n.p.t. and collecting a city pension a five thousand dollars a month special agent gilbert hernandez spent thirty five years in. which here of course this concert is where the only big city. there was the state is overwhelmingly a world in suburban white the walk is where the homicides occur i can't get a copper from dram to come here and know what to do about homicide as to which i think 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
3:56 pm
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 thank you. shack fourteen times sounds like it went wrong in the age of all these all this officer which say they want you these good reasons is a bag so i am safe they side with a. prison for being a hassle that is not really procedure. thank you. all this is a vicious. time to stop. i think. we have to look i'm more detail workers for manning came from. worse he born and worse he raised did he have black friends he had mexican friends
3:57 pm
. you look into his record more and you know that he had a communication problem. yes seventeen other occurrences were he in the use excessive force or he used to play which he had a sexual assault on his record and we say the client was starting to get in out of traffic here going up to cars where this work was in trying to even beat up a white cloud into a grandstand and that's when things got heated in the incident is all caught on camera. and.
3:58 pm
