DEADLY JULY: THE FIVE BLACK WOMEN FOUND DEAD or DYING IN JAIL CELLS


THEY'VE ALL DIED OVER A TWO WEEK PERIOD.

It doesn't appear most of them died under mysterious circumstances.  One of the suicides appears to be on video. But with this many black women dying in jail cells over the last two weeks it makes you wonder how many others died without the main stream media picking up on it.


 

Sandra Bland, 28, was found unresponsive in a Texas jail on July 13 after being brutally arrested for a traffic violation days earlier. The police officer Encinia clearly lied and lied again about the nature of the rest (bold faced and sin-of-omission)  Read More:  http://thankherforsurviving.blogspot.com/2015/07/sandra-bland-dash-cam-vs-cops.html

Kindra Chapman, 18, committed suicide in an Alabama on July 14 after allegedly stealing a cell phone. It appears Kindra's suicide is on video though it will not be made public. We can only hope that appropriate monitoring and precautions were taken with this teen.   http://www.al.com/news/birmingham/index.ssf/2015/07/video_of_kindra_chapman_shows.html

Joyce Curnell, 50, was found dead July 23 at the Charleston County Correctional Facility. Curnell appears to have been given medical attention prior being put in a cell. http://counton2.com/2015/07/24/sled-investigating-following-inmate-death-at-detention-center/

"Though the Black Lives Matter Movement is led by black women, stories of their experiences with law enforcement have been largely overshadowed by the narratives of black men. But the national outcry over Sandra Bland’s death has been unusual. Her name trended on Facebook and Twitter for days. #JusticeForSandraBland trended on Twitter for just as long. Perhaps her own outspokenness on racial justice issues through her video series #SandraSpeaks made the story behind her death more compelling for mainstream news outlets to pick it up."
