Looking at the thread title and I see the word "allegedly" 
White Mississippi Officer Allegedly Choked 39-Year-Old Black Man To Death With Flashlight
- Thread starter Medicate
- Start date
The capital of the most racist state in the country isn't being forthcoming with information?........Big surprise there. The Ghost of Mississippi is still roaming about.....No updates yet....other than the funeral for the brother took place a few days ago, but the traction and gag on the information coming out of Mississippi is stagnant.
Cabbage Patch
The Media scene in V is for Vendetta is the clue
Wall Street was where the nikkas were sold in New Amsterdam.
seriously how come no one fights bacc?
It only takes ONE to stand up & that hive/mob mentality will kicc in. FUK! if you're being strangled fight bacc & goddamn step in! witnesses "said" fuk that get in the mix. I would break my rule of jumping into somebody's problem, if I see a crazed cop killin an unarmed blk.

This is happening in the North as well. Not in the exact way, but Blacks getting choked out and shot to death on flimsy reasoning.
An Exclusive Interview With the Mother of Jonathan Sanders, the Miss. Man Who Was Allegedly Choked To Death By a Cop
As the deaths of Sandra Bland and Sam Dubose continue to capture national attention--both serving as undeniable evidence of police brutality, selective outrage and the ability of police officers to lie through their teeth even with video evidence to contradict their stories--the police killing of 39-year-old Jonathan Sanders in Stonewall, Miss., has largely flown under the radar.
According to witnesses, according to witnesses, Herrington replied, “I’m going to get that ni--er.”
Less than a half-hour later, Sanders would be dead.
According to witnesses, Herrington's unexpected approach down the long, winding road startled Diva, who then threw Sanders and ran away. As Sanders tried to stand, Herrington allegedly pulled Sanders by the strap of a headlamp Sanders was wearing that had slipped down around his neck, and allegedly choked him for approximately 20 minutes.
Sander's last words, according to witnesses: "I can't breathe."
Herrington has been placed on administrative leave while Sander's death is under investigation, but even with stark similarities between this case and that of Eric Garner in Staten Island, there has not been a concerted national mobilization effort behind it.
This has left Sander's mother, Frances Sanders, struggling to force her son's name into a national conversation about police brutality and the state-sanctioned killing of black people that too often go unpunished.
In an exclusive interview with The Root, Sanders talks about her son and her continued efforts to make sure his family receives justice in his name. The Root also spoke with attorneys preliminary autopsy determined that the cause of death was manual asphyxiation and the manner of death was homicide. That means that the results determined that Jonathan Sanders was choked to death by another person. That person was Kevin Herrington. So you have eyewitnesses saying that Kevin Herrington choked Jonathan Sanders to death and an autopsy saying Kevin Herrington choked Jonathan Sanders to death and yet this is day 22 since his death and there is still no arrest.
District Attorney Bilbo Mitchell made the statement that in the 28 years he’s represented four counties, he’s done approximately 15 police-related killings before a grand jury and he cannot recall one indictment coming from those instances.
His statements concern me deeply. So much so, that we are prepared to request that the state step in and appoint a special prosecutor based on his admitted inability to secure indictments in the nearly 30 years he’s been a district attorney in four counties. 0-15 is very unimpressive. And we demand justice in this case.
TR: There was so much social media buzz surrounding #TakeItDown, the push to get the Confederate flag removed from the South Carolina Capitol Building. Yet, when faced with the state-sanctioned violence that often goes unchallenged in the Deep South, there is a lot of silence. Why do you think that is?
C.J. Lawrence: Thank you for asking this. To be quite honest, the dilemma is quite perplexing. As we witness the phenomenon of black men and women and boys and girls being killed while unarmed only to be later [character] assassinated and have their killings justified across this nation, it seemed inevitable that this type of injustice would make its way back to Mississippi.
I say back, because Mississippi is the place that perfected injustice through systematic racism and oppression. Look no further than Emmett Till, Medgar Evers, and Goodman, Cheney, and Scwherner to realize the history is real here. You have to drive through a confederate cemetery to get to Stonewall, Miss. There are houses with rebel battle flags hanging outside. You can feel the weight of oppression bearing down on the place.
This is small-town Mississippi – a town of about 1,088 people – often when people from outside the state think Mississippi--they immediately think perpetual injustice–but if there was ever a place where we could establish the blueprint for how to beat state-sanctioned violence – I think this is the place to do it. And if we do it here, we can do it anywhere. We have been in contact with several of the players on the national scene. It would be great to feel their presence here as well. Black lives matter in Mississippi too.
TR: How will you get the community involved in fighting for Jonathan?
Lumumba: We are certainly going to galvanize the people. This is different from Ferguson or Baltimore. The conditions are different. The nature of the oppression is different and so how we get people involved will be different from those areas.
In Ferguson and Baltimore, you had two places where violence, oppression, poverty and a multitude of in-your-face systematic conditions were at play. Here, you have that deliberate Southern oppression. It’s passive, in-your-place type oppression. When we had the citizens hold up their fists at town hall, I had no doubt that it was the first time in history that in Stonewall, Miss., that many people were standing together for the purpose of showing black power. We intend to empower the community and show them just how powerful they already are.

It's a tried and true classic white supremacy media tactic. They bring up criminal records, toxicology reports, etc to criminalize the black victims - to remove the cognitive dissonance.. Even tho it has nothing to do with the situation at hand, they want to create the 'see he was a criminal anyway' narrative. It keeps the blacks apologetic, placated and docile and keeps the white supremacy train chuggin right along
