office in the cell. three have been charged so far with felonies. the others have not been charged. are you satisfied with the charges thus far? we are definitely satisfied with the progress that this investigation is taking and how quickly it s come to fruition. this investigation, it takes not only the video, but the interviews with those particular officers with or without their lawyers, and with mr. hobbs. this has been a very thorough investigation, but as you stated, it s not over. yeah. so you say you want the doj to get involved. are you asking for the doj to investigate this incident? i also know you represent the family of latoya james who was killed during a camden county raid last year. are you asking for an investigation of just this or an overall patterns and practices investigation of the department? it s a very good question, victor. the fact is we asked for the department of justice to come in
and investigate the death surrounding latoya james. we ve asked them to investigate not only this assault against mr. hobbs, but just this department as a whole. i mean, frankly speaking i m tired of having to go down and do civil rights cases in little camden county, georgia. there is a problem there. as i stated in a press conference, it s exhausting being black and having to deal with law enforcement in camden county, and so we hope the full weight of the body of justice comes and looks at that place top to bottom. if you look at mr. hobbs incident, not only did they beat him and assault him, but then they lied about it. they communicated those lies trying to get him more time to the united states probation office. i mean, this is something that is readily allowed. this is systemic, and this is something that we have to root out in this local department. so let s talk about what you say is a lie here. hobbs was arrested in georgia.
