A couple weeks ago Mississippi authorities said Trey Reed hung himself on his college campus. Colin Kaepernick then stepped in to pay for an independent autopsy for the family who denied their son was suicidal. The results were that blunt force trauma was found and that it was not suicide. The man in New Mexico is having similar calls for independent investigations from friends and family.
The first story you linked, false, one of the several outlits that stated blunt force trauma was involved. You’re actively assisting the the spreading of misinformation because you want a specific outcome. The second autopsy information hasn’t been released yet. Its almost like the people want this to be a hate crime because it would be easier to cope with. Do you have any idea how rarely the family or friends see suicide coming? It’s almost never an open and shut case where the family just accepts it. You know why? Because it’s fucking horrifically difficult to rationalize that someone you love so much would just give up and disapear.
I’m sure that if we ignore all the racism and gaslighting it will just go away. I think with all the attacks on the media and history it’s time to at least question these things. Historically a lot of terror has been committed on our black brothers and sisters while they are gaslit and ignored.
Or there are the people that ignore the history of lynchings of Black American Men during times of white supremacist backlash. Should people just ignore centuries of abuse not only facilitated but done by law enforcement so that some people can be comfortable during the backlash ?
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.
Again, you’re spreading misinformation. The second autopsy hasn’t been released yet and even members of the victims family have come out to apologize for pushing that false narrative. I’m linking a reputable article below that came out hours ago stating all the facts on that specific case. You want an outcome thats easier to accept but doesn’t currently have any evidence backing it.
Do people want this to have been a hate crime?

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.
