"First, we want to thank the Oakland Police Department for their support throughout this painful ordeal. Our family is going through a lot. We are sad and we are angry. My grandfather walked miles every day. When the driver hit my grandfather and drove away leaving him on the pavement, they not only robbed my grandfather of his life, they also robbed him of his dignity. They robbed him of his freedom to walk safely within the city where he lived for over 30 years. They robbed my family of our future plans with our beloved father, grandfather, and great grandfather. And, they robbed the community of our faith in human decency.
