Nationally renowned civil rights attorneys Ben Crump and Antonio Romanucci launched a call-a-thon that will run through September 16, asking supporters to call their U.S. Senators to urge them to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. The campaign’s goal is to generate 50,000 calls to senators in 50 hours.

Romanucci & Blandin, LLC and Pitt McGehee Palmer Bonanni and Rivers together announce the filing of a civil lawsuit for the police shooting death of Oscar Herrera in Hillsdale County, Michigan.  Adam Burlew, a Deputy from the Hillsdale County Sheriff’s Department shot and killed Mr. Herrera on April 28. 2021.  Initial reports say Deputies were called to Mr. Herrera’s home in Reading Township after complaints about his dog, but when the Deputy arrived both the dog and Herrera were inside his home. The dog later bit the Deputy, who shot and killed the animal. The 32-year-old was upset about the death of his dog, and police say Mr. Herrera confronted the Deputy and was shot and killed at the scene.

Following the death of Amir Locke, Antonio Romanucci testifies on the need to curtail no-knock warrants to the Minneapolis Policy & Government Oversight Committee.

Founding Partner Antonio M. Romanucci tells the Washington Post's Robert Samuels: “I could use much stronger language over the fact that the George Floyd Police Reform Act was not passed. We had no better opportunity… to have wide-ranging, wide-sweeping reform in policing, and we blew it.”

“The Minneapolis police department has a pattern and practice of racial discrimination against Black people over White people without question. It is so wide ranging in terms of how big this scope is in their discrimination… Whether it needs more funding or less funding, probably more funding to figure out what went wrong there, that’s what they need in order to get this done. And so do a lot of other police departments.”  Antonio M. Romanucci
