No one has any public evidence one way or another. Its all circumstantial.
Mississippi is the least transparent state in the Union. There is no legal mechanism to compel the Mississippi police to release any documentation on this death. This is also the deep south where lynching were common a generation or two ago and cop were open Klan members.
We are going back to the old ways in this country. This might be a symptom of that.
There is zero reason based on what we have for evidence right now to suspect police were involved in the crime or are covering this up.
Agreed.
The bigger issue is Mississippi’s complete lack of transparency with these things which degrades public trust. That is going to leave a lot to public speculation. This podcast talks about it: https://revealnews.org/mississippi-goddam-2/
(I’m sure there is a more concise article somewhere, but this was a good podcast and I cannot be bothered)
I didn’t say i thought that. I dont think that. Of course I have no evidence for the thing I never said I thought. That thing I said it would be very cynical to assume.
I don’t even believe in suicide. No such thing. Just regular murder and social murder.
Do you have a specific reason to believe the police killed this guy or are you just really off the mark here?
Even if he was murdered there’s no evidence to point to a suspect yet you are concluding it had to be the police, why?

There’s a reason songs like these exist:
Mississippi Goddam - Nina Simone
Here’s to the State of Mississippi - Phil Ochs
What’s Going On Down Thete - Malvina Reynolds
Lynching hasn’t been “common” in over 70 years. The Klan hasn’t been prominent in 40-50 years there.

He’s saying we shouldn’t trust the police because they have a history of lying to the public to protect themselves.
As it turns out, when you lie to people, they tend not to trust you in the future. At least if they’re not stupid.
Except the police aren’t making this claim, the coroner’s office did and there’s zero reason to expect police involvement.
