And Ben Crump who has been called the African American family emergency plan received yet another call from an African American family who was devastated unexpectedly by an unjustifiable killing at the hands of the police.
Most recently, Crump has represented three of the most high profile cases in America today in his representation of the families of Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, who was shot while jogging in Brunswick, Georgia, and Breonna Taylor, gunned down in her bed by Louisville police in Kentucky.
Crump is widely known as the go-to attorney when police violate the rights of Black men and women.
In an era when cell phone videos and bodycams are capturing acts of police misconduct and keeping the cases front and center, there is no end in sight for Ben Crump’s work on behalf of victims.
It takes extraordinary effort in America for Black people to get simple justice,” Crump, said in that Washington Post profile.
