"Fatal Consequences: The Deadly Impact of Police Force on Communities"

Jameek Lowery, a Black man in Paterson, sought help from police during a mental health crisis but died two days later after being forcefully restrained and punched by officers in an ambulance. His case highlights the deteriorating relationship between the Black community and the troubled police department, as well as the broader issue of racial discrimination in the criminal justice system. Despite efforts to hold officers accountable, including a detailed report suggesting his death was a homicide, the community remains skeptical of police reform and continues to seek justice for Lowery.
