1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: About a year after my son was killed, I was

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: heartbroken and at a loss, not knowing if I ever

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: find out what happened. I didn't know where to turn,

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: so I took to Facebook. Life. Okay, Facebook, I'm gonna

5
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: try this again. Like I was saying, you know, when

6
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: our son was killed, it is something that devastated our

7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: whole family. But to add insult to injury, we are

8
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: in a big battle with the city of Chicago, day

9
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: after day trying to find out what happened to him,

10
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: and there are so many discrepancies in his case. We

11
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: are the average black family trying to fight against a

12
00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: huge city, and everywhere we talked, we're here the doors

13
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: getting slammed in our face. I can't say whether or

14
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: not something happened while he was with the police, but

15
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: I know that they have continuously denied our request for

16
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: videos and nine want one calls that depict the final

17
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: moments of my son. It's painful. You feel the desperation

18
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: in your heart because you want answers to what happened

19
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: to your child. Everybody tells you that the city of

20
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: Chicago is doing what they can, but what I see

21
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: is that they're fighting every step of the way. They

22
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: want you to stop fighting. They want you to give up.

23
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: They want you just to accept that your child is

24
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: dead and just move on. I can't can't do it.

25
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: He doesn't deserve it. He doesn't deserve what happened to him.

26
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: So I can't just give up. With everything within me,

27
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: my last breath, I keep fighting for him because he

28
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: can't do it anymore. Raise my heart. No matter how

29
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: long it takes, I will not stop fighting for Corney.
