“In a city and nation that protects abusive officers at all costs — getting fireable charges against one of the three officers who murdered my brother is a rare and important step forward, but we are outraged and heartbroken that the CCRB made the cowardly decision not to charge Barrett or Almanzar at all,” he said in a statement through the Justice Committee, which is advocating for Feliz’s family.
When Feliz returned to his car, the situation escalated quickly. Barrett and Rivera allegedly began to beat him, while Almanzar stood by without intervening.
