Yeah but like, nobody ELSE has so, it's totally fine.
they were just trying to torture him. not torture him to death.
also the system has to agree that you are mentally deficient enough to receive special treatment. Its a lot easier to just put you in with everyone else unless you're a really bad case. Many of the people in there need help that they're not getting.
because that's not what the system was designed for. its was designed to incarcerate and punish and separate from the main population.

I think I have more hatred for this particular DA than the goons who actually commited second degree murder. This sends a bat signal to correctional officers in this district that brutality and torture is A-okay.
Hopefully theres blowback from this, its like we jumped back in time to the pre-Civil Rights era.

That's a bat signal they've had since the beginning.
All the more reason that it was staff action that killed him. A Phillips screw driver isn't inherently dangerous. Until I stab someone in the eye with it.

Who gives a shit?
Are you implying that because his internal temperature was 102 after being pulled from the torture chamber that he somehow should have survived?
Do you understand how internal body temperatures differ from the 104 degree water you feel on your surface? How hot that shower water must've been to get his internal temp to read at 102 after he'd been taken out of that room?

Oh, some kinds would. What kind of a DA would say it was an accident, though..

Not only should the feds come through and charge the correctional officers but they should charge the state attorney for neglecting the duty of her office. Why doesn't this ever happened? Do the feds have the power to charge state attorneys for failing to do their job?

Cocaine=lock him up. Murder= no charges. Seriously what in the fuck is wrong with this country

It's absolutely awful that there's zero chances of any feds looking into this with who we have in power though I wonder if anyone at the DoJ before then did anything. We're not going to be seeing any chance of serious prison reform unless it's for the even worse for probably a decade if we're lucky.
I'm pretty sure he was just comparing the temperature of what, you know, is called a hot tub to the fucking insane temps of that shower.

Yup, better off just letting the cocaine kill him.
Like some of these wars we fight "We are going to liberate and protect these people from a bad dictator"... 10 years later we end up killing a few hundred thousand more people than the dictator would have killed if left alone. Off topic but this shit is crazy, saving people by killing them.

It's ridiculous that people have to have that spelled out for them. But here we are.
Is there really no chance at all to, legally, fight this? No instances? Nothing?
I guess the best you can do is spread these cases as horrible as they are to increase awareness and make people upset enough for someone to do something, but it feels even that wouldn't be enough :/

This is some straight medieval shit, I can't fathom how horrible could it be for someone to slowly die from boiling water pouring all over his body.
People responsible for it are some sick abhorrent beings, it was obviously racially motivated, and they did it knowing no one in position to do something would give a shit about a mentally Ill POC, I know some would love to argue they are mentally ill themselves, but these fuckers are just plain nefarious.
Makes it even more sad that he was in jail for cocaine possesion...

This DA is part of the local Democrat leadership down in Miami-Dade county, btw.

The DNC needs to say something about this.

Even as someone who reads about these kinds of cases everyday, I still have the capacity to be shocked by a case like this - and the horrific response from the state.

I have some thoughts on how this should be handled for the guards and the DA, but it's not appropriate for this forum. I rarely get sickened by news these days.
According to Shaun King's article for NY Daily News, Possession of cocaine with no intention to distribute. 1 month remaining on a 2-year sentence.
2 years for that? Jesus Christ.

Your post was still insensitive as fuck since all you did was post what you like your bath temperature at, so fuck off.

I'm... I'm pretty sure this isn't how the law works. When someone dies because of something you did, you don't get off scott free because of gross negligence.

Hey now, criticism like that makes you anti-cop. You're either with them or you're against them. And I don't think you need to be told what happens to those they feel are against them.
