Rally attendees call for Milwaukee’s Chief Flynn to resign

A full range of emotions was on display and calls for Milwaukee police Chief Edward Flynn to resign intensified Thursday as close to 400 people gathered at the Milwaukee Brotherhood of Firefighters Hall for what turned out to be part film screening, part memorial service and part call to action in the wake of the death of Derek Williams.

Williams, 22, died in police custody in July 2011. Recently released squad video shows him suffocating and begging for help in the back seat of a police car as officers ignore his pleas for nearly eight minutes.
