Now that they’ve seen the body cam footage, Jawan Dallas’ legal team is once again calling upon the Mobile Police Department to release the video and the names of the officers involved in the incident.

“It’s no secret why the Mobile Police Department doesn’t want to release this video,” the legal team said in a statement Friday. “It shows their officers illegally accosting, assaulting and killing an unarmed innocent man while he begs for his life screaming ‘I can’t breathe. I don’t want to be George Floyd.’ Of course they don’t want the public to see that. But this isn’t about what the Mobile Police Department wants. It’s about justice.”

The Dallas family is being represented by civil rights attorneys including Harry Daniels, John Burris, Ben Crump and Lee Merritt. They have taken on high profile civil rights cases representing Rodney King and the families of George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, Ahmaud Arbery, Andrew Brown, Botham Jean, Tyre Nichols and Oscar Grant.

The Dallas family and lawyers had the opportunity to view the videos that show the events that occurred July 2 while police were responding to a 911 call about a potential burglary. This came after four-and-a-half months of the family pleading with the city to let them know what happened to their son.

“This is one of the worst days of my life,” Phil Williams, the father of Jawan Dallas, said at a press conference Wednesday after watching the video. “Mobile Police Department, you straight murdered my son. You were not there to serve and protect him, you were there to destroy. You killed him.”

The family’s interpretation of the events in the footage stands in stark contrast to what the city claimed happened back in July.

The family and the family’s attorney said eyewitnesses saw police beating Dallas, and they say the body cam footage corroborates that claim. Mobile Police Chief Paul Prine said in July that the autopsy saw no evidence of “any bruising, any contusion, or any evidence of blunt force trauma.”

“You tell me on the autopsy that it was accidental?” Williams said at the press conference. “No, You held him there … Yeah, of course he had a heart attack because you all caused a heart attack. Yeah, he had bleeding in his brain, because you all beat him upside his head.”

The police officers involved in the incident were cleared of any wrongdoing by a grand jury, Mobile County District Attorney Keith Blackwood announced last week. The grand jury proceedings were what had been preventing the family from viewing the body cam footage due to secrecy rules.

Blackwood also said that Dallas “initiated” a struggle with police, which the family’s attorney, Harry Daniels, called a “damned lie.”

“The narrative I’m giving is different from what they are giving,” Daniels said at the press conference this week. “Who do you believe? Who is telling the truth? The one thing that clears it up is to show the video. It’s what should be considered and gives more transparency for police officers and makes the community safe.”

AL.com has reached out to the city for comment regarding their plans with the video, but received no response at the time of publication.

Law enforcement agencies are not required under Alabama state law to release body cam footage to the public, meaning it is unlikely the general public or the press will be able to ever view the video.

“The public has a right to see this video,” Dallas’ lawyers said. “The people deserve to know what kind of officers the Mobile Police Department are protecting, the kind of officers who would do this to an innocent man begging for his life. We all deserve to know because as long as they hide behind that badge, none of us are safe.”
