The three families are all dealing with the deaths of their loved ones. Their attorney is attempting to prove that HPD engages in a pattern and practice that violates the constitution.The City of Houston is facing a civil rights lawsuit. Three families impacted by deadly police chases argue that Houston police have a pattern and practice of pursuing Black drivers through Black neighborhoods putting innocent civilians at risk.
ABC13 has not independently verified the numbers, but did cover the deadly chases in this case involving HPD, non-violent suspects, and the innocent bystanders who were killed. "For these families, they're never getting their loved one back. What this includes, and really any civil rights case includes, is a hope that decision makers don't just see this going on and bless it and let it keep going on, but actually take steps to stop the conduct and behavior," Doyle said. "For these families, that's a huge part of it."
"Innocent citizens are getting killed and injured again and again, because there's police chases that shouldn't be happening that keep happening, and they're continuously approved instead of stopped," Doyle said.
