Family of Stephenson King Jr., the man killed by Boston police officer now charged with manslaughter, demands transparency
"Even though he wasn't perfect. Even though he struggled with mental illnesses, he didn't deserve to be killed like this. He did not deserve to be killed because an officer had a rush to judgment."
"Releasing the video will reveal whether either King or O'Malley acted improperly, providing transparency and accountability."
"We want to help build stronger relations between law enforcement and the community so all of our children can get home safe - so they are not killed by the very people who are supposed to serve and protect."
Stephenson King Jr. was shot and killed by Officer Nicholas O'Malley during a confrontation involving a stolen car. King's family is demanding the release of body-camera footage to seek transparency and accountability. Attorney Ben Crump emphasized that King, despite his struggles with mental health, did not deserve to be killed. The family believes the footage will clarify the actions of both King and O'Malley. They aim to foster better relations between law enforcement and the community to ensure safety for all children.
