On October 18, 2011 Joel and his family’s life changed forever when his older brother and best friend Mathieu was hit and killed by the driver of a 28 ton crane truck.

Mathieu, an artist, was riding his bike home from his art studio in Brooklyn, NY. The tragedy made headlines on CNN, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Maclean’s Magazine, the CBC, and many other news agencies in Canada and the US. Through his eyes Joel gives first-hand knowledge of what it’s been like to go up against one of the world’s largest police forces, the NYPD.

It took Joel and his family six years to discover the truth about how his brother was killed.

In his own straight forward and heartfelt way, Joel speaks of the grief, sadness, anger and frustration he felt during his family’s long fight for justice.

Joel was inspired to write this story to raise awareness about traffic safety and to show others who are victims of injustice that they have a voice and that they can make a difference. He hopes his story will inspire others who are struggling against injustice.
