why are the cops first responders to something that doesn t involve crime. too many times they re just responding to people hanging out on a bench or having a bad day or in this was a couple of weeks before he died. what i notice in all of his pictures, he was smiling. that was his uniqueness. dontre smiled all the time. and when his life was dangtakenm us, we didn t know what to do. adding to maria s grief, the police didn t even file criminal charges against officer manny. they said his use of deadly force, 14 shots into dontre, was justifiable. we ve heard that way too many times before. it was like am i in a movie? and my fight even to this day is the truth. all i ever wanted was the truth. so i was pulled into a fight trying to get the truth.
