"A Milwaukee mother is calling for a change in the police department.On Friday, a group of family, friends and supporters gathered at the Milwaukee County Jail, where they held a vigil to call for justice and pray for the families of five people who died while in police custody.\"We are tired, and we are letting everybody know that we're not going to take this anymore,\" said organizer Tracey Dent.Using a bullhorn, group members shouted its message. Members said five in-custody deaths in five years, including that of Derek Williams and James Perry, are too many.\"There's a picture that stays in my head, him lying on the police floor, handcuffed, dead,\" said Perry's mother, Angela Garner. \"A mother shouldn\u2019t have to lose her son that way.\"Police said Perry had been picked up in in connection with a car suspected in several robberies. Authorities said Perry had a seizure, so officers took him to the hospital, and then he was released back to them. Family members said Perry died after reportedly asking for help.\"Even if you don\u2019t have the qualifications and skills, you know, your mind is going to tell you, 'Help that individual,'\" said Perry's ex-wife, Shakisha Edwards.Edwards, a nurse's assistant, said Perry was treated unnecessarily.On the police department's website, Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn responded to Perry's case, saying \"The officers at the hospital said they thought something more was wrong with him, and after continued conference, the medical personnel said to the officers, their words, not ours, 'We think he's faking.'\"Regardless, the group thinks Perry should have been helped, as well as the four others who died.\"What I want to happen is the police department to get cleaned up,\" Garner said. \"I want the truth to come out on every case. All of them.\"Garner is taking legal action against the department, and she said she hopes other families will speak out as well."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
