Ben Crump, the Fortson family attorney, emphasized the transparency of the incident by stating, "Just watch the video. It's on video, y'all. It ain't no mystery what happened - what is so hard about this investigation?" He expressed frustration about the delays in the investigation and highlighted a pattern of injustices faced by Black individuals in America, saying, "Normally for Black people in America, when they delay, delay, delay, that's them trying to sweep it under the rug."
Raven Fortson, Roger's sister, strongly advocated for justice, articulating her fears, "If he is not held accountable for my brother’s death, he will take someone else’s family member." She underscored the disparity in how black lives are valued, asserting, "My brother was murdered. He killed him for existing."
Chantemekki Fortson, Roger's mother, criticized the investigation's pace, saying, "My child rescued people within a split second. Look how long it's taking America to rescue him." Her emotive statement highlights the urgency and accountability she seeks from officials.
