So my visit to City Hall is not exactly the highlight of my year or necessary to accreditate our views. We have called for a fair and impartial federal investigation to provide the public and the Garner family with results. If other parties feel that the evidence will support their view of events then they should support us in a fair, independent investigation and allow the facts to come out.
To say that only people with guns call us, shows the reckless, immature manner in which some parties want to engage, because the fact is that all of the people who have called on us, who we have stood up for, from Sean Bell to Trayvon Martin to Amadou Diallo, those people did not have guns, but their shooters did.
Again, we will continue to pursue a fair federal investigation to determine where the facts lie and to advocate for policies that do not enforce policing differently according to zip code. We will address this issue at a closed meeting of local leadership in the morning, after which I will speak to press.”
