Texas Mother Dies In Police Custody 2 Weeks After Car Accident Another black woman has died in a Texas jail , despite pleas from her family asking that law enforcement take her for proper medical treatment. Honey Marshall set up a GoFundMe account on behalf of her 22-year-old sister Symone, who passed away last week leaving her 3-year-old daughter without a mother: On April 26th, 2016, Symone Marshall was ran off the highway by a road rage filled man causing her vehicle to flip over three times and end up in a ditch. When police came to the scene, instead of being taken to a hospital, Symone was held in police custody for two weeks with NO medical attention for not possessing a valid drivers license. Police refused to take her to a hospital to be evaluated by professional doctors, (even with her sister, Honey Marshall calling and requesting for them to do so) which resulted in her dying in jail two weeks later on May 10th, 2016 from a blood clot in her lung. Symone was a loving sister, friend and mother. She didn’t deserve to be held in jail like a criminal and lose her life. This act of careless negligence on behalf of this Texas Jail cost Symone her life at only 22 years old. She leaves behind a precious 3 year old daughter that loved her mommy more than anything in this world and Symone loved her the same. We are seeking 3 things to help us: media attention on this issue, justice for the two weeks of gross negligence that resulted in her death, and donations toward giving Symone a beautiful funeral. We appreciate the love and support. #BlackLivesMatter This campaign was started by Symones sisters, Toni Pruitt & Honey Marshall Really sad stuff right? We just don’t understand how the police allowed this to happen. According to an interview with NY Daily News reporter Shaun King Marshall was experiencing headaches and blackouts — signs she should have received serious medical attention. “My sister Symone moved to Texas for a fresh start in life a few months ago. She was doing good down there, had a job and was about to buy a house. She’s a beautiful person, never been in trouble before and didn’t deserve this,” said Honey Marshall. “When I talked to her from jail, she complained that her head was hurting and she kept blacking out,” said her sister. “I called the jail several times and requested for them to take her to a real hospital and they wouldn’t do so. If they would have this, her death could have been prevented and my sister would still be here. My heart hurts so bad. She was my best friend. I am so angry that they did this to her.” What makes matters worse is that police and jail officials aren’t talking. They declined to comment or release information about the accident to the Daily News and Marshall’s family. The public should be outraged and demanding answers! You can donate to Symone’s GoFundMe HERE and make sure to spread the word about this case. Photos Courtesy Marshall Family
Florida Man Kills Brother Over A Cheeseburger A florida man was not his brother’s keeper. He reportedly got into an argument with his sibling over a damn cheeseburger and ended up shooting and killing him. Via Orlando Sentinel : A 25-year-old St. Cloud man is facing murder charges after shooting and killing his brother Thursday night during an argument over a cheeseburger, police said.

Oh, my God.” Police talked with Benjamin Middendorf, who said he doesn’t drink alcohol and was home when his mom and brother came back from the bar, the report states.

Man With Strange Facial Tatts Arrests For Touching Himself On The Train One NYC weirdo with even weirder face tattoos couldn’t fight that tingling feeling when he was on an NYC train last February, and decided to share his ecstasy with (unwilling) fellow passengers. TWICE. Via MailOnline : Police are once more seeking a man with a ‘Team USA’ tattoo on his forehead for allegedly touching himself on a New York subway line. Michael Pope, 19, was on a Manhattan-bound Brooklyn L train on February 25 when he began touching himself, a Tweet from the official NYCT Subway account said Friday. Cops say the train had pulled in at the Lormier Avenue station at about 8.30pm when Pope entered and began masturbating in front of a victim, according to DNAinfo. This is the second time he’s been accused of such a crime in the last six months. On December 27, Pope stepped onto another train at President Street in Brooklyn. There, according to police, he masturbated for 30 minutes while watching a 29-year-old victim. She managed to take a picture of Pope with his hand in his pants and gave it to cops, who Tweeted it on December 29. The next day Pope handed himself in to authorities. His tattoos – which include not only ‘Team USA’ on his forehead, but also a Nike tick on his left cheek with the words ‘I go’ and calligraphy on his right cheek – made him easy to identify, police said at the time. Well, no isht. We wonder why this olympic-level masturbator can’t just log onto PornHub to handle business like everyone else… NYPD

NYDailyNews : Elliott Earl Williams, a 37-year-old veteran who was critically injured and mentally ill, should’ve never been taken to an Oklahoma jail on Oct. 21, 2011. In fact, every local jail in America is woefully unprepared to handle men, women or children with severe mental illnesses or critical injuries. In instance after instance when those who are battling hardships are taken to jails instead of hospitals, criminal abuse, negligence and death are too often the result. Guards, who often lack college educations but who can slam doors shut with the best of them, are a bad excuse for doctors, nurses or mental health counselors. But we already knew this. Here we are, though — stuck in an endless cycle in which African Americans like Natasha McKenna, Jamaycheal Mitchell, Sandra Bland, Gynnya McMillen and Elliott Williams were taken to local jails alive and came out in body bags because of the inhumane indifference to their well-being. When we say “Black Lives Matter,” we utter the phrase because so many of their names and stories speak volumes about a system that often claims otherwise. After a painful day in which Williams was witnessed mumbling to himself, tearing up grass and dirt with his hands, talking out loud to God and randomly throwing food, it was obvious that he was having a mental health crisis. He told police he was suicidal when they arrived. They arrested him and took him to jail anyway. During the arrest, police were witnessed forcefully putting their knee into his spine. Elliott’s father, Earl, said that his son appeared to struggle to walk when they lifted him up and instead let his feet drag. That too, has been seen before. When Baltimore Police arrested Freddie Gray, he was witnessed by a dozen people screaming in pain and unable to move his feet. Baltimore law, like most cities, requires injured people to be taken to the hospital. What happened to Williams between that moment on Oct. 22 and the moment he died five days later is criminal. For days on end, Williams complained to anyone and everyone who would listen that he was critically injured and could no longer move his legs or anything at all below his neck. He urinated and defecated on himself. He writhed in pain and begged every guard and nurse there to take him seriously. They wrapped him garbage bags and dumped him in the shower, where he still did not move, face down in the shower. That was the first day. Morning, noon and night this continued. Nurses and staff put water just beyond his reach to see if he would move to get it. He didn’t. They still claimed he was faking it. On Oct. 23, Williams never moved. On Oct. 24, Williams never moved. On Oct. 25, Williams never moved. On Oct. 26, Williams never moved. On Oct. 27, Williams never moved. In fact, he never moved again, but appeared to have seizures. They claimed he faked them. He screamed for help, begging the staff to “cut it out of him,” and had arm movements that suggested a critical brain injury. Finally, on Oct. 27, officials dragged Williams’ limp body to a holding cell with a camera in it. That is the footage we have included here. Just watch his feet. For hours on end, they don’t move even an inch. Of course they don’t. He’s paralyzed. While there on the floor for hours, staff throw water at him, look at him, and continue to ignore the fact that they have a paralyzed man on the floor of their jail. NYDAILYNEWS.com
