Do not? It's a cover-up. It's not right.
Whew Chile!! I would be scared to stay in that city!!
Clerical Error!
Black people have no power in this nation so sad
Sounds like a cover up just pathetic,common sense it's very suspicious.
If it was the other way around and the local Gov't needed answers from this family they would get it by force. Also an investigation won't do anything since the police will basically investigate themselves and find no wrong doing. If this was a just world the community should surround the police dept and get their answers by force.
Cause they don’t want her to really find out what really happened like they did Rasheem Carter!! The black man in Mississippi doesn’t get any respect this is wrong would this happened to a white man!!!
Crump, how many mansions have you bought lately?
Jesus Christ, why do white people continue to treat black people like trash for no reason what so ever?
Wow. This police company has something they want to hide, 'eh? It is not only insensitive and rude for their actions, it is highly suspect. My condolences to the family for their continuing grief. 🫂❤🫂
Because law enforcement is covering it all up now all of it has come to life mother
The person "invited the homicide" is the word I commonly come across whenever another Black man/woman falls victim to police or a vigilante homicide. Is that going to happen here as well?🤔
Anyone surprised?
January 9, 1861 – Mississippi seceded from the Union.
December 5, 1865 – Mississippi rejects the 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
March 16, 1995 – Mississippi ratifies 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of GOD, have mercy on me, a sinner"
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Please pray these words now 🙏 and please consider beginnning daily prayer, it is a good habit that will help you if you actually do it and continue to do it
Matthew 5:9
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of GOD"
Someone didn't want an autopsy
It stinks…they linch people …this reporters are scared…
After New Jersey, Mississippi is the second most corrupt state in the U.S.
The police trying to hide another murder of and Innocent citizen.
Main lesson here is dont try to cross the freeway on foot, and especially at night.
I can't imagine what the family is going through. I'm nauseous just thinking about it. The police are just heaping insult upon injury.
There is dash cameras on all police cars. Find out everything that happened. Was that police officer drug tested when that incident happened? They just believed the officer's words? There has to be documentation, video, recordings on questioning, and more.
😂😂😂 USA.
Until law enforcement fixes their problems, they will continue to self inflict their defunding by getting sued.
I hope the police car is brought to justice! (way to write a headline NBC, the car was acting on own, definitely not driven by a police officer)
can you talk about the adolescent linched and killed like 3 days ago by 15 adolescents
And now they have to rely on this same system to do determine the cause of death. Flash forward to where the pigs claim that due to (fill in the blank) no cause of death can be determined. Flash forward to when the pigs investigate themselves and find no wrongdoing. Flash forward to where the taxpayers pay this family a million dollars. Flash forward to (politicians name here) telling Black people to vote.
This stinks to high Heaven. There would have to be many people (public accountable people) who knew and participated in this. Totally inexcusable.
