11:32 am
the officer began to pet him down. i heard them frogs on them sounded kind of fighting into me grown man like wrestling essentially the officer apparently backed up and threw his tie. your individual twisted away from the officer pulling the petard 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 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 in their fight again 15 feet apart at this point and that's when the officer pulled out his gun and he did it on 3. i knew it was not happen so i turned away. after i counted drama more shots. very very large party our smart. guy you are to me or to me me or my very very near

11:36 am
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 control them. and intact and then why did they take so long to tell us what happened and. they said the name. this is in his wallet. and this writer see. yes. they have closed in this case still with. the. group chief flynn
11:37 am
said that we need to do a better job in tunis that is something that is very true. but the tray have limits will is 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 a car for 45 minutes. rear oh no matter i believe damien was 2 years old. that. 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.
11:38 am
them. and you didn't see any of the sickness coming and entre as he was brought up to strike. me with a different turn it is 6 o'clock where his decision on alcohol whether he's got charged off. and they are just been trying to get my mind to accept either way. so today they're not going to order me what i know. that they're not going to be released. i use them on the run 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 is not we had believed that it was going to be the
11:39 am
day for that decision. and 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 had hundreds of witnesses and those have to be interviewed you have to look at the forensic evidence. that train never showed any. 3 any kind of noise or. she was lonely and drab. in the home. and no one in my family no one. knows. when they
11:40 am
even found this woman with schizophrenia and what do we call them. friends. house and he would always. are or he will say just like they do if. you don't leave. them. both. it's just. that i gave me a trial. that was uniquely may. and he's gonna rest now with this creative there.
11:41 am
is that illness is nothing to be afraid of is not then to run. is not then. they any right is to die for. when it comes down to it it is not actually that i think one can say oh well the russians are all bad this certainly is not the case that the west is all good they're all absolutely things that the west needs to be doing and what i would like to see is much much less totally counterproductive rhetorical struggles we see against russia that it's you know if it's become an easy way all getting certain the audiences to approach you is to come up with cheap russian bashing that helps.
11:42 am
says she stressed to. this or that the british presence at the bill of the internet that you have to. stop doesn't was to you she didn't taste it taste good to see you say so i pushed. you into cook i thought which she never happened and i know what you mean in the mist which you took a moment of me for sure. or to talk to you so if you're my it's your bonus for tribute. to mr ellsworth supporter until put into the spirit of the book through this interview but you both piece that it's a studio surely of course in the personal cost of a phone call or should it's just the same spirit. expressed.
11:43 am
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 are on the committee. she did. all. this and it limply the don tree hamilton case for the better part of 6 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 yet which is what this was dealing with the outcome a little more of them is that these are the mentally ill you're the guy you're. all for services have you any other big cities we've got a problem with untreated mentally ill people who have no options. it's gone. back not to mention it was a mental health issue in april once ferguson broke suddenly as
11:44 am
a racial issue it's. saying this is this you know. michael. 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 wasn't a mental health story anymore it was a race story. that it. started to call history just started because we were at around the only thing we need to reflect on that has culminated in. this kind of i still just get new to all this process but i saw a lot of courage in a clue those men. i will say i'm a non-confrontational person but they're not saying serious. even though john is hurt. just want to try. to move on with his life.
11:45 am
to love that he had forgotten trey what happened that day will. never be there. no no i asked everybody else. it's just. like almost 5. after man was shot my son. bought her. her. out of her. looking at life because chuck was working protests causing some chaos on the scouts 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 likely to support the bill. passed i'm not.
11:46 am
when i 1st heard the news or reports on my were down trade i have a robbery on his record you know but i think they just had it tangled. i think i just turned 18. but had a baby. so we and rob and some older guy and some younger guy and i think we've got a couple lottery tickets and i watch for something like what is no more $50.00. but the next morning 2 detectives came to the house they basically handcuffed me right in the liver on. the island of doom on 18 months and to me the corrections to the 16 years they sent us.
11:47 am
some of those life lessons right there to be a better person. yes i made mistakes but i don't think anyone came home to the standard of what i was 17 years. after. i have the opportunity to speak kind of his mother and his brother and one of the things that 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 2nd 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
11:48 am
a team. i'm foreign to for he's. just 15 and it was rough for you know i'm single parent you know working every day it was cool and it leads to some stuff that i did no one. still have my days and still have learned that it is good 15 years right you know less than bran and walked into the mental health and his neck was broke his back was broken feet places he laid in a diaper for 3 days begging for his life so. i'm still asked of the and if her son was shot 14 time i was just set your urine as who is just 6 somebody is worse than we the me right but i'm glad to be a part of this because i want to see something happen. and then why are i want to know this carol oh i think if.
11:49 am
i had a son his name was michael bell who was killed on november 9th 2004. he was coming home with a night out with friends designated driver he came intoxicated. michael so like you're too drunk to drive i'm going to drive michael was under the influence of alcohol but you can look on a dash cam video he's driving perfectly straight pull up in front of his house and just them 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 grabbed michael and he took me on the back of the car off camera.
11:50 am
multiple times ran to the back of the house. michael was accused of ball rushing an officer here and this is actually a car that was here it was hasn't moved in in 10 years and sadly that's that's the area where michael. michael died. you can see. michael was shot in the morning of november 9th 2004 on a friday they really 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 really just a 5. 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 boom operator it's time for 23 years i go
11:51 am
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 a fair and due process and the doors pretty much shut in my face. his death and these are the news reports throughout the years we have i go to governor doyle at the time ready i go to the attorney general they don't even bother to give me a call but this is the contract for billboard that owning the already ran it had to resort to full page ads in newspapers and dubois to get her to justifiable but the city settled out of court with bell's family ready mychal bell's father his use of 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 use. what profession is fine and asking himself you cannot have colleagues and asking colleagues and think you're
11:52 am
going to get an objective report you're not and there's no profession on 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 john trey hamilton cased 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. go with the city's. only investigation as they get there fast freeze the scene identify witnesses and get
11:53 am
a preliminary idea of what happened here this is midday downtown ok we can just stand around or the 100 some possible witnesses would all run home. when d.c.i. got there it became their investigation. that outside investigation was done by a d.c.i. a criminal investigation who has a lot of different agencies on him but the ones that investigated entrées case was ex milwaukee police officers special agent david kay the bundy spent 25 years at n.p.t. and collecting a city pension of $5000.00 a month special agent gilbert hernandez spent 35 years in a. challenge here of course in wisconsin is where the only big city. there was the state is overwhelmingly a world and service quite the walkies where the homicides occur i can't get a copper from dram to come here and know what to do about
11:54 am
a homicide investigation and 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. i'm here because i want your support i want your help but i can't do that if i'm afraid i. shall be caught sounds like something went wrong and then did you call these all this officer which say they want you these good reasons is bad so i am safe they sat with a russian. prison for me this is a half truth it is not good for us in time to time thank you very much for having me thank you. be happy my. boy this is
11:55 am
a vicious. time to stop. i. have to look more detail workers for man came from. worse to burn it worse he raised did he have black friends and he had mexican friends. and when you look into his record more and you know that he had a communication problem. yes 17 other occurrences where he use excessive force or he used language he had a sexual assault on his record and we say the client was starting to get an out of traffic here going up to cars with workouts and trying to even beat up a white cloud grandstand and that's when things got heated and the incident is all caught on camera.
11:56 am
during the great depression which i'm old enough to remember there was most of my family were. and it wasn't it was bed you know much worse subjectively day but there was an expectation of the things we're going to get better. and there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america where shape by the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy attack so low down to engineer elections manufacture consent and other principles according to no on. one set of rules for the rich officer said. that's what happens when you put her into the hands of
11:57 am
a narrow sector of wilf which will is dedicated to increasing power for chills just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america ready ready ready. i am sure to stop at the continuing to grow. i just never felt very good about the idea of bringing children into the world because i didn't feel like things were in very good shape that a life was just going to be a lot of software program. there's no reason the more kids. take
11:58 am
things that are to me the there's no reason to make something else that you need to get rid of everybody's scared to talk about it certifiable is really dependent on us addressing this issue and if we can even try. have a conversation of that. ready you know world of big part of the lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the
11:59 am
hawks. politicians to do something. to put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to. have to go right to be precise this is like the full 3 in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters in the house. sitting.
