No not at all, that’s not what I’m saying. It’s just that there is no evidence to support anything other than suicide. He had no injuries, had an active warrant out for his arrest, had a hospital band on and he was living in emergency housing. It doesn’t sound like things were going well for him, a suicide seems so much more likely than a massive conspiracy and cover up. Just looking at the case pragmatically based on the facts available.
Yes there is absolutely tons of horrific cases of lynching and race motivated killings in the USA’s history as well as current day. I’m not disputing that. There is also a considerable history of the government and accelerationist groups using tragedies like this suicide to create violent riots and social unrest. Especially considering the current administration. We need to look at current evidence and react accordingly. Giving the fascist any reason to further crack down hurts everyone but the elites. My heart breaks for the victim and the family 100%. I’m not against further investigation either. If foul play is discovered ANYONE involved should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. But, until we have any evidence at all that suggests that we need to stay objective.

What massive conspiracy? They are just racist cops in the south who refused to do an autopsy. There’s no “conspiracy” needed.
A black person hanging from a tree in southern US always suggests foul play, and it should always be investigated as such.
If you don’t understand why, then you need to read some US history.
