    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.

          I appreciate that. Part of why this particular case is so magnetic for me. It feels like people want to create a divisive conspiracy supported by no evidence. That way they can get some white people bad points. Rather than admit we have a massive mental health crisis happening. Everyone should be trying to help one another, not use a tragedy to divide eachother further.

      I work in addiction recovery and listen to people share about suicidal ideation, and lost friends/family to suicide. A lot of people that contemplate life take into consideration the world they are leaving behind. Not wanting to burden others, further hurting or shaming family, or honestly leaving a mess - leads people to hanging.

        I wonder if a black person would think that hanging themselves would lead to some confusion.

    I’m not saying trust them but

    According to APD, Givan also had a bracelet on his wrist from a hospital nearby that revealed he had been admitted the day before. According to officers, they also found a notebook that belonged to him at the scene. "I did watch a little bit of the OBRD (body cam), and I think just reading some of the things that were in his journal — the notebook that was there, led them in that direction.

    Seems plausible enough with a follow up unfortunately.

      Yeah, I pointed out the currently available evidence. Also disproved the legitimacy of a parallel situation. The misinformation got significantly more upvotes as the factual information and article I linked. People want this to be a hate crime and no amount of proof will dissuade them from believing it is.
