A black dude got kill like this two months agoHell that was just one incident. A few years ago I actually was cuffed and brought down to the precinct because I was on the clock at work driving my jobs rental car back to the job from Pepboys. On my way back a cop pulls me over and several cops pull me over, guns pointed at me and told me I was being arrested for driving a stolen car. shyt had me like. Apparently the car was stolen a few weeks ago and was returned to my job but the officers alarm list still had that car on it. I was in a cell for a couple hours and then released.... I should've fukking sued...

Right now, as we speak, at least 6 people have been in Riker's Island FOR OVER SIX fukkING YEARS w/o being convicted
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/...at-least-2-years-without-ever-being-convicted
400 people have been imprisoned in Riker's Island for at least 2 years without ever being convicted
This past weekend, Kalief Browder, having served three brutal years imprisoned in Riker's Island took his own life. Beaten and starved and placed in solitary confinement for over two years, the 16 year old Kalief who went into prison for a crime he did not commit was not the same young man who was unceremoniously released without ever being convicted 1,000 hard days later.
As New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio and presidential candidate Rand Paul offered their condolences to Kalief's family, the truth about what is happening in Riker's Island is so ugly that it is hard to believe. Kalief Browder was not that one guy who got lost in the system. Far from it.
Currently, in Riker's Island, at least 400 people have been imprisoned for over two years without being convicted. Half a dozen people have actually been waiting for over six years inside of Riker's Island without ever being convicted of a crime. A staggering 1,500 inmates have waited at least a whole year - some of them imprisoned for crimes that wouldn't even have sentences for this long if they actually were convicted.
Even Kalief Browder, who had no criminal record whatsoever when he entered Riker's Island was accused of attempting to steal a backpack. Mind you, the backpack wasn't even actually stolen by anyone, but Kalief was accused of attempting to steal it and he denied having any part in this until the day he could no longer take the brutality of this cruel world we live in.
What must it do to a man's psyche to wait and wait and wait for a chance at justice, only to languish in a notorious prison overwrought with abuse? Sadly, we know what it did to Kalief Browder. For the next man, the effect may be equally debilitating, but be expressed in an altogether different way.
It's called the "justice system," but those two words don't really seem to belong in the same sentence. It is a system, yes, but what brother Kalief Browder experienced, and what the 1,500 inmates in this prison alone, who have waited years for a chance to have a fair trial have experienced, is not justice.
Call it what it really is - the injustice system, the New Jim Crow, modern slavery, but don't call it justice and don't call it an accident. This system was built on purpose and it is a very real emergency for those men and women who are being held without trial for years on end. Everything in New York City should stop so that these people, these citizens of our land, can have some semblance of justice - if that's even possible. Pardons may even be called for.
Whatever the case, the new plan of Mayor De Blasio to fix the problems of Riker's Island over the next ten years simply isn't good enough or fast enough for those who are suffering right now as you read these words.
Foh with this sly victim blaming shyt, you don't know how the parents funds were not everyone can afford to save money. They locked thismanteenager up for three damn years without a charge, no one failed their son but the people that did this point.blank.period.
I am a black woman in America and there is no possible reason I wouldn't do everything in my power to get a family member, especially the men, out of a racist and inhuman prison system. There is nothing sly about it, his family failed him. Period. fukk all of them. They knew he was being beat by inmates and guards and did nothing to get him out of that situation.
I guess we have different definitions of the word FAMILY then. When anyone in my family has had a legal problem they were bailed out immediately, because we know and understand what the system does to black men. I'm sure his sisters wedding cost more than $1000.
Your son is a 16 year old innocent child, and sent to a fukking hell hole prison for a crime he did not commit and all it takes for him to be back home is $1000 over the course of 3 fukkING years and you don't get him out?
That is .97 cents per day. They couldn't save even one dollar a day over a 3 year period to free their son from bondage? fukk them.

A damn shame. Every single DA, guard and judge should be sentenced to the same fate. I hope his family get's $$$$ like the guy who got $22 million for being in the same situation in New Mexico. He even had to yank his own teeth out because they refused to let him see a dentist. This a systemic problem, and the only way to change it is by changing the system and it's ideas. The only reason why people think we need this shyt is because we have been conditioned to do so. It won't change until we do.

Something stinks about this case more than the obvious. I can't get over son sitting for three years and bail is only 1-3 racks. What type of family would allow that? Until that's cleared up, I don't wish his family receive jack shyt!
He was remanded without bail when he was indicted because it was a probation violation. Everyone questioning his family obviously didn't read the articles before commenting.
And yes privileged coli members there really are people in black america who can't come up with bail money.
A black child was snatched off the street with false charges by one of the most racist police departments in the usa, had his rights violated for 3 years, was abused and beaten and as a result took his own life and the coli comment is " his family ain't sh-t because the couldn't pay bail".

I read this story years ago, the "speedy trial" thing is bogus. Prosecutor would ask for 1 week, judge would give 6 weeks. This is why he was not trialed within 6 months.
Also, LA and NY has the worst jails for people being housed before trial.
In Florida, they separate violent offenders/those with serious charges from people who have to serve 120 days for a misdemeanor.
You can literally be sitting in Rikers with killers before your are sent to serve time in the State Pen. Its almost like the State Pen or Prison is safer than Rikers.

im trying to find this part in the article.Could you show it to me fam?

An officer escorted him out of the courtroom and back downstairs to return to Rikers. It no longer mattered whether his mother could find the money to bail him out. The Department of Probation had filed a “violation of probation” against him—standard procedure when someone on probation is indicted on a new violent felony—and the judge had remanded him without bail.
just search the text of the article for the word violation.
Just look how these young savage nikkas and guards treated him.
It's very rare that i would ever condone a suicide outside of terminal illness other than a brain or spine injury.
But in this case this young brother has clearly made a stand that he refuses to live in a world where his life can be disrespected.
I hope he gets all the marches and nationwide protest of other young brothers who lost their life unjustly.
this is beyond infuriating on so many levels.

Every single one of those nikkas are as responsible for his death as the Mexicant, shytty public defender and shytty prosecutor. fukk them all.
