On the front lawn of the Town of Tonawanda Police Department, supporters and family of Eric Martin, Jr. continued their calls for justice Thursday.

"Words can't describe what I feel about what happened that day," remembered Eric Martin, Sr., the father of Eric Martin.

Back on July 9, Eric Martin, Jr. was accused of trying to cash in a stolen lottery ticket at the Speedway on Kenmore Avenue.

Town of Tonawanda Police say the day before, lottery tickets were stolen during a burglary.

Martin was arrested.

"There will never be an understanding why you attacked my son like that — let's get that straight," he said.

Martin resisted arrest, but according to his attorney, his two children were in the car. According to his attorney, Martin was also "unnecessarily" strip searched.

"If it happened to Eric, it can happen to you," said Charley Fisher, a family friend. "You know, Eric Martin was stripped down. He asked, please — just look at the tape."

After all that, New York State Lottery confirmed they emailed that Speedway gas station, showing Martin's lottery ticket was not stolen.

Police have since dropped all charges against Martin.

"At the end of the day, I'm glad Eric came out OK because it could have ended tragically," said Martin, Sr.

Eric Martin, Sr. and his son's attorney have a meeting with the Town of Tonawanda police chief on Tuesday.

"People want to know what happened that day and we want to take a good look at each end of that — recognize any shortcomings and improve," explained Lt. Joseph Milosich, Town of Tonawanda Police.

But, it's not a simple happy ending. The story isn't over. Eric Martin, Sr. and his supporters are calling for action and change.

"We are not going to stop until this violence stops, of innocent Black men, innocent people period. We are not going to stop," said Martin.
