Ken Williams, is One former Boston area homicide detective who

thinks the solution to address the racial divide in community policing in many urban

communities may be to apply a Civil War-era law to civil rights abuses. The Violent Crime
Control Act contained a provision that made it unlawful for law enforcement to engage in a
pattern of conduct that deprived citizens of their Constitutional rights and gave the Attorney
General the authority to sue police agencies anywhere in the country if they exhibited a pattern
and practice of using excessive force and/or violating peoples civil rightsand compel them,
under whats known as a consent decree, to change those practices. If a law enforcement
agency receives federal funding, DOJ can also use the anti-discrimination provisions of the
Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, which forbid discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex or national origin by agencies
receiving federal funds. In 2012 Mr. Williams, a qui tam whistleblower, filed novel False Claims

Act (FCA) Civil Action # 12 CV12193 United States Ken Williams ex. rel. v. City of
Brockton, Brockton Police Department and John Does 1-100 to reform the Brockton Police. Title
VI prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs and
activities that receive federal funds. Between 1994 and 2011, the Brockton Police Department
received well over $5 million in Federal COPS grants to fund the salaries of 41 officers.
Williams' lawsuit contends that, during much of this time, neither the city nor the department
were in compliance with the COPS grant pre-conditions to receiving the federal funds. In
addition to the multiple civil actions filed against the department, the city's police chief admitted
in a 2007 news article that, in the history of the department, only two positions of rank were held
by a minority and it was the same individual promoted twice. Mr. Ken Williams is represented in

the federal qui tam action by Thomas Poulin of the Simmer Law Group in Washington, DC.
Attorney John Hightower represents Mr. Williams in a 42 U.S. Code 1983 civil matter.
Today, Mr. Williams is a Wrongful Death and Expert Witness Consultant for
www.Kwillservices.com. Mr. Williams is retained by civil rights attorneys Sannestine Fortin and
Byrnes Guillaume to evaluate and render unbiased opinions. Hes done so in the Rodney
Mitchell, Elias Guadarrama, and Anesson Joseph Wrongful Death civil cases. He has appeared as
a subject matter expert in print media like ABC, Black Like Moi, Black Westchester, Your Black
World Media and others. Mr. Williams has also made guest appearances on ABCs Black

Almanac hosted by Dr. Ed James, Your Black World Media hosted by Dr. Boyce Watkins topics:
Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Professor Ersula Ore, and local cable shows like Brocktons
Outside View hosted by Ron Matta. The Your Black World Media viewership sustained organic
growth from 0-100k regarding these important community topic discussions between Dr. Boyce
Watkins and Mr. Ken Williams. In 2014, Mr. Williams, was also an invited Police Community
Relations Forum panelist at the Urban League of Westchester town hall event held at Pace
University School of Law.

In 2014, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference & Partners Ethics Project sought Mr.
Williams for an unbiased opinion concerning Darren Wilsons grand jury testimony and a review
of physical evidence in the Michael Brown case. The analysis discovered nonpublic material
facts which the SCLC delivered in letter to the Missouri State Senate Panel tasked with
investigating possible prosecutorial misconduct. From 2012-13, Mr. Williams also performed a
public service in Forensic Analysis of surveillance video in the Pace University Danroy DJ
Henry case. Public service in technical assistance was afforded the Kenneth Chamberlain, Sr.
estate in this $21 million Civil Action against White Plains Police.

In 1989, Mr. Williams volunteered and enlisted in the Armed Forces. He took an oath to support
and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic
according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Mr. Williams was honorably
discharged after the 1991 Persian Gulf War.
In 1995, Mr. Williams took an oath as police officer to uphold the Constitution and to use the
power and authority of his position to serve & protect the community. The job and oath to serve a
community came just thirty-one years after the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He
was one of the first African Americans hired in the United States under the Federal COPS
program.

Mr. Williams experienced discrimination at the outset of his police career. Despite these
experiences from 1995-97, Mr. Williams earned advancement to a specialty homicide detective
position. He was the only black detective in 1997. From 1997-10, Mr. Williams worked hard to
help citizens in need. Despite being a decorated veteran detective for thirteen years Mr. Williams
from 2007-10 became the target of adverse actions designed to remove him from duty because of
his protected speech and whistleblower activity about matters of public concern. In 2010, Mr.
Williams was forced to retire due to employer retaliation for these same protected activities. The
adverse action against Williams which violated his rights and the Constitution began in 2007
after Mr. Williams assisted a black citizen who was called racial slurs by a white officer and
knowingly arrested and remanded to a jail cell without probable cause. Mr. Williams wasnt loyal

to police corruption, didnt remain silent and internally the chain of command discretely began
carrying out a plan of adverse action against Williams to silence his speech to protect
wrongdoers.
Police administrators discretely from 2007-09 discriminated against Mr. Williams and then less
discretely retaliated from 2009-10 by depriving Mr. Williams of notice of their intent to
terminate his employment. This deprived Mr. Williams his due process rights and property
interest in his job under the Fourteenth Amendment. city administrators violated the Constitution
and orchestrated Mr. Williams termination in 2010 but that did not silence him. This scheme to
retaliate harmed Mr. Williams. It caused him to file an EEOC complaint and then a timely First

Amendment Retaliation Civil Action # 12-10430-JGD Ken Williams v. City of Brockton to

recover damages. Mr. Williams aside from filing civil actions against the Brockton Police wants
see it reform.
From 2007-present the city and defendants continue to deny in Federal court any hate-crimes,
discrimination, retaliation, civil rights violations, abuse of authority, perjury or other illegalities
took place under the color of law. Administrators circle the wagons around themselves and others
who violated the law and Constitution in Federal court despite material facts Mr. Williams has
availed to the court to survive summary judgment in his 42 U.S. Code 1983 civil matter. From
2010-13, the black citizen Mr. Williams assisted filed a separate civil action against the city of

Brockton for violating his rights in 2007. In 2013, just days before a trial, the city settled the civil
action outside of court. So the victim received civil justice but the criminal injustice was never
adjudicated because police and city administrators covered up the crimes committed under the
color of law. For more visit Kens website www.kwillservices.com and follow him on LinkedIn.
