Too many red flags for this to be ignored. I hope her friends, family and fellow alum keep on haunting the Waller County Sheriffs. Don't let up one bit. Haunt them like a vengeful spirit in a horror flick.

Edit nvm

disgusting. TX has some pretty vile parts. the blue badge of honor will protect the pigs who did this.

If there really was foul play, then they're openly doing it now. White supremacists basically have free reign now. I don't know or understand how African Americans can continue to take this blatant injustice.

It's some weird stuff going on in this story. Things aren't adding up. There's has to be a guard in there who knows what happened because it seems like somebody is

what would you recommend to combat said injustices (that have been going on for centuries)

To be frank, there's nothing I can suggest that hasn't been already thought of. A stronger sense of unity would be a good start. The inclination towards independence isn't the best way forward.

okay, so we'll be unified as we face injustice. i'm all for independence but nothing short of "terrorism" would push these cacs up off us

Police know that they wont be punished and they know their families wont be touched.

They have no motivation to stop.

Then perhaps terrorism is what's required. But knowing American media and their unparalleled ability to demonize any demographic they wish, it'll probably backfire. Voluntary segregation? Perhaps too counter-productive, and seems too submissive. The point is equality, not a false solution by way of isolation.

Perhaps the consistent and high profile erasure of anything resembling negative stereotypes? Changing the perception through empowering and improving the minds and communities of AA youth seems like a gradual, but long term solution better than anything a protest could achieve.

Perhaps peaceful protest? Literally crowd and take over the streets in a manner as calm as possible, akin to the Hong Kong demonstrations.
