I spent this Father’s Day weekend with LoLisa, Roz and Vallorie Miller. The daughters of Arthur Miller.
Arthur Miller was killed by the NYPD in a chokehold in 1978 on Nostrand Avenue in Crown Heights

Arthur was a fascinating man.
He owned a construction business, played the Congas, launched a neighborhood association, won a grant to pay for a neighborhood watch.
“This was a guy who had never should have been attacked by the police,” said one Crown Heights resident.

No police were ever criminally charged or fired for Arthur's death. The D.A. called it a "tragic unforeseeable accident"
There is no video to see how it happened but here is how one witness described it.
(It should be noted, Arthur had a permit for his gun)

His daughters have been living with their father’s death for years, and each time another Black man is killed by the police, it’s gutting
LoLisa: "Every time it happens, I just revert back to that 8 y.o. girl. I see all of the police cars and the lights… I see it all"

LoLisa was 8 years old when her father was killed by the NYPD. She told me she feels a deep connection to Gianna Floyd
Here is LoLisa saying what the police who killed her father took from her.
"I was stripped of my life"
