9:49 am
other than his brother and one of the things he made clear to me that they're interested in is restoring the dignity of their son the name their son's name and in particular several items one tree was not homeless second he was not an armed robber for me and so i want our community to know that he was neither homeless nor was he an armed robber. my understanding there's a team. i'm foreign to 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. my days that still have my nights and it's good fifteen years right you know but brianna bought into the mental health and his neck was broke his back was broken three places he laid

9:52 am
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 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 and this was my copilot navigator boom operator at the 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 get fair and due process and the doors pretty much shut in my face with. his data these are the news reports throughout the years we have i go to governor doyle at the time i go to the attorney general i don't even bother to mccollum this is the contract for a billboard i don't even know already ran it and i had to resort to full page ads in newspapers and billboards to get heard. justifiable but the city settled out of
9:53 am
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 do. what profession is fine 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. in the law had just passed and john trey hamilton case happened a week later and i don't think the city was ready for the new laws require that it
9:54 am
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. are only investigations that get there fast freeze the scene identify witnesses and get a preliminary idea of what happened in this day downtown area when we can just stand around or the one hundred some possible witnesses were on home. when d.c.i. got there it became their investigation. that best case was done by the d.c.i. . best geisha who has a lot of different agencies on him but the ones that investigated entrées case was the ex milwaukee police are. special agent david cook bundy spent twenty five years
