One detail we'll highlight: After Williams' death, his family got a bill from the city demanding $3,429.23 for the damage he caused to the police car when officers ran into him.
(After @thecity.nyc reported on it, the bill was rescinded.)

This one is even more troubling.
CRT officers who were going after unlicensed motorcyclists spotted a man named Sammy Williams riding in the other direction.
The officer suddenly and purposely swings his car to the other side of the road, right into the path of Williams, sending him flying.

What is a forced resignation?
A forced resignation occurs when an employee is pressured or coerced into resigning, often as an alternative to being formally terminated.

Because all the presidents before him realized it would be extraordinarily wasteful to spend 15-20 MILLION of our taxpayer dollars to go in person.
