We echo the official statement of the Connecticut ACLU and stand with the community organizers, New Haven and Hamden residents, and Yale students currently fighting for .

“Right now, the Hamden Police Department (which includes the Chief of Police) has the power to release the body camera footage of the shooting. There is no legal reason for police to withhold this information from the public, and it is the department’s obligation to be transparent with the people who pay its bills.”

“Yale University and the Yale Police Department have the power to be fully transparent with the public about what role Yale Police Department employees played in Tuesday’s shooting. Yale’s Police Department exists because the legislature decided to allow it, so the department’s authority still comes from the people.”

Every arm of the government has a role to play in ending police violence. Until our state and local governments stop abdicating their responsibilities and start ensuring democratic control over police, we will see police violence in Connecticut again.
