Speaker 1: We are the average black family trying to fight against
Speaker 1: a huge city, and everywhere we turn, we're here the
Speaker 1: doors getting slammed in our face. My name is chakraral Wells.
Speaker 1: They want you to stop fighting, They want you to
Speaker 1: give up. They want you just to accept that your
Speaker 1: child is dead and just move on. I can't, can't
Speaker 1: do it. This is the story of my son, Courtney.
Speaker 1: You know my name is Corney Copeman. Two fifteen is
Speaker 1: the biggest here of my life. He was a good child.
Speaker 1: He loved his family. He was a ladies man, even
Speaker 1: with his auntie and his grandmother. He got that smile
Speaker 1: with his dead folds. I just remember thinking to myself,
Speaker 1: like where does he get all this energy from? I
Speaker 1: chance to wrap her. Courtney Copelan was a good friend
Speaker 1: of mine. In he wound up with a bullet in
Speaker 1: his back outside of Chicago police station. Who ever did
Speaker 1: this to us? Soun as, did you turn yourself in?
Speaker 1: As this you ask for forgiveness from God? And it's
Speaker 1: the story of my search for the truth. So we
Speaker 1: would with the flyers and we were on the radio.
Speaker 1: If anybody that can help us get answered. You want
Speaker 1: to know what you are did you see anybody running?
Speaker 1: How many shots? None of that stuff was asked along
Speaker 1: the way. I teamed up with journalists and we took
Speaker 1: this case to a whole new level. Okay, so you
Speaker 1: heard two shots fired on the block. I was working
Speaker 1: in the emergency room and I remember him specifically being
Speaker 1: handcuffed to the bed. What do you do with this information?
Speaker 1: None of this expense to me as wherever God not
Speaker 1: have been makes sense. This is a podcast about trust
Speaker 1: and the police. There was a rhyme I heard back
Speaker 1: in high school. You were put here to protect us,
Speaker 1: But who protects us from you? This is Somebody, a
Speaker 1: co production of the Invisible Institute, the Inter South and
Speaker 1: Topic Studios in association with Tenderfoot TV. Everybody the songbodes
Speaker 1: every day. This is somebody's child. Somebody deserves to know
Speaker 1: what happened. I deserve to know what happened to my
Speaker 1: son coming soon March one,
