    You can never trust the cops when they rule these cases a suicide so quickly. There is well known bias amongst law enforcement to sweep problematic crimes under the rug, which is why a larger percentage of murders aren’t solved in America compared to other nations.

    Lynchings especially are crimes of terrorism, where so long as the black community knows they’re being targeted, there never needs to be any serious acknowledgement of it being a lynching. In fact, it’s better terrorism when the law covers for them. The message is clear: we can murder you and nothing will be done about it. Those in the forces burn crosses.

      I totally agree. Women know this about SA as well. The societal gaslighting is part of the oppression. Whatever happens with this case we need to pay attention to these things and at least question them.
