The father of Emantic Fitzgerald "E.J." Bradford Jr. in a Friday appearance on CNN slammed the Hoover, Alabama police department for failing to reach out or apologize to the family after mistakenly killing him at this past Thursday's mass shooting at a shopping mall.
"Nobody has responded," said Bradford Sr. "We haven't got no calls and no apology. Nothing has been told to us what happened, what transpired to led up to this point."
Bradford Sr, who who worked as a correctional officer for 25 years, told anchor Alisyn Camerota that he felt the Hoover police department had already disrespected his grieving family by lying about what had happened and for refusing to release video evidence.
"My thing is you showed me a lack of respect, his mother a lack of respect, and my son a lack of respect because you allowed him to lay there in the mall bleeding out," Bradford said angrily. "you never covered him up, and you have people putting stuff on facebook, social media, my son's brains blown out and his grandmother couldn't take it. She almost passed out yesterday."
"It hurts me as a father, and it hurts me as a person that worked so long for law enforcement," he added."Just to get that disrespect, that is disrespect totally across the board."
