WEBVTT - Somebody: Coming Soon

0:00:01.440 --> 0:00:04.600
<v Speaker 1>About a year after my son was killed, I was

0:00:04.720 --> 0:00:08.680
<v Speaker 1>heartbroken and at a loss, not knowing if I ever

0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:13.760
<v Speaker 1>find out what happened. I didn't know where to turn,

0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:21.119
<v Speaker 1>so I took to Facebook. Life. Okay, Facebook, I'm gonna

0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:24.120
<v Speaker 1>try this again. Like I was saying, you know, when

0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:27.840
<v Speaker 1>our son was killed, it is something that devastated our

0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:33.280
<v Speaker 1>whole family. But to add insult to injury, we are

0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:38.680
<v Speaker 1>in a big battle with the city of Chicago, day

0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 1>after day trying to find out what happened to him,

0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:50.159
<v Speaker 1>and there are so many discrepancies in his case. We

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 1>are the average black family trying to fight against a

0:00:55.480 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 1>huge city, and everywhere we talked, we're here the doors

0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:08.920
<v Speaker 1>getting slammed in our face. I can't say whether or

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:14.760
<v Speaker 1>not something happened while he was with the police, but

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 1>I know that they have continuously denied our request for

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:26.039
<v Speaker 1>videos and nine want one calls that depict the final

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 1>moments of my son. It's painful. You feel the desperation

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 1>in your heart because you want answers to what happened

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 1>to your child. Everybody tells you that the city of

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Chicago is doing what they can, but what I see

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>is that they're fighting every step of the way. They

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 1>want you to stop fighting. They want you to give up.

0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>They want you just to accept that your child is

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>dead and just move on. I can't can't do it.

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't deserve it. He doesn't deserve what happened to him.

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 1>So I can't just give up. With everything within me,

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 1>my last breath, I keep fighting for him because he

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:27.800
<v Speaker 1>can't do it anymore. Raise my heart. No matter how

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:31.480
<v Speaker 1>long it takes, I will not stop fighting for Corney.

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Here my son Courtney's story, and follow my fight for

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:46.240
