Family members of 22-year-old Porter Burks, who say Burks was shot and killed by Detroit police during a mental health crisis, plan to file a wrongful death lawsuit against police as soon as a probate court appoints Burks’ mother as head of his estate.
Loved ones of 22-year-old Porter Burks said they will file a wrongful death lawsuit against police as soon as a probate court appoints the young man's mother, Quieauna Wilson, as head of his estate.
"That’s what they used to do in medieval times, chain people up to the wall in an insane asylum. Well, we have now graduated to executing them with firing squads." Detroit Police Chief James White released partial body-camera footage on Tuesday, showing his officers speaking to Burks on Sunday on a street in the city's west side.
The video released by police didn't show the moment he was fatally struck. But Burks appeared to be waving his hands above his head and moving quickly toward officers before police gunfire erupted.
