Justice delayed is justice denied.
In the case of #AllanFeliz , #KawaskiTrawick , and many others, there's an alarming pattern of bad faith delays, as well as disregard for NYC CCRB findings.
We stand with advocates in demanding a measure of accountability for impacted families.
First up, Jawanza James Williams | He, Him| 🌹 from VOCAL-NY opens up the rally demanding justice for #KawaskiTrawick
“I am Tiffany Caban, City Council Member of D22, but more importantly I am a Queer Brown person with a mental health diagnosis” - Tiffany Cabán. #KawaskiTrawick was a 33-year-old Black Queer New Yorker who was killed by NYPD officers while in a mental health crisis.

What a shameful decision to not discipline the cops involved in the killing of #KawaskiTrawick , on the eve of the five-year anniversary of his death.
Our communities are experiencing real harm at the hands of police.

Powerful words from the brother of Win Rozario. Five years after the killing of #KawaskiTrawick , more families are being harmed by police violence in response to mental health crisis.
1,665 days since the Trawicks lost their son, and the officers who took his life are still free and working. This is unacceptable, @NYPDDC Mayor Eric Adams we need action now! #FireThompsonAndDavis for #KawaskiTrawick
After 5 years of delays and coverups, Commissioner Cabán's decision not to fire the officers is unacceptable! We demand justice and accountability. #KawaskiTrawick Shame on you Mayor Eric Adams and Edward A. Caban
