Subway victim remembered at Brooklyn memorial as advocates push for safer transit system * Brooklyn Paper
Briefly

During a memorial service for Debrina Kawam, Rev. Kevin McCall emphasized the need for accountability among bystanders, urging New Yorkers to help rather than record incidents. He remarked on those who stood by during her tragic death, "We need to turn our attention to New Yorkers, who turned their phones on and didn't help her. To the two New York City officers who did nothing - you need to be fired. Are they trained to have a heart?"
Rev. McCall called for greater safety measures in the subway, advocating for fire extinguishers in cars to prevent tragedies like Kawam's. He stated, "We need to do more than just say prayers. It's not enough to grieve; we must ensure our public spaces are safe for everyone." His passion for community safety highlighted the urgent need for action to protect vulnerable individuals.
