Family of man killed by Lakewood police last month push for officer's removal

The family of a man shot and killed by Lakewood Police last month just took the first step in the process of filing a wrongful death suit.

The family believes the officer that pulled the trigger should have been removed from the department long before this shooting happened.

On June 6, friends of Said Joquin gathered for a protest in Lakewood calling for justice.

"He wasn't threatening, he wasn't ever rude. I've never seen him in a fight. He knows how to act in situations with the police, so I know he wasn't doing anything wrong," said Lacee Forsythe, Joquin's friend.

"He wasn't ever rude" fuck that it is not a citizens duty to be polite to a cop. They are servants of the people, we pay their salaries. Of course you don't directly threaten a cop, but you don't have an obligation to be polite or cow tow to those fuckers
