Statement
on the 20th Anniversary of the Police Brutality Case
on the 20th Anniversary of the Police Brutality Case
"Two weeks ago, I met with Abner
Louima in Miami Beach, Florida. He advised me at the time that he will not be
doing interviews or issuing any statements regarding the 20th anniversary, on
August 9, 2017, of his attack.
"He authorized me to say 'He has
moved on with his life and is focusing on his business interest and his
family.'
"His success in life serves as a
role model for all victims and demonstrates that one can move on and succeed in
life despite suffering a personal tragedy. The challenge today remains for
those of us who work for justice for victims of police brutality, particularly
in the era of Trump and when we have an Attorney General who publicly opposes
bringing pattern and practice investigations of police departments accused of
patterns of brutality. We must continue to shine a spotlight on wrongdoing by
police whenever and wherever it occurs. The battle goes on.”
