I heard about this story last week and
have been waiting for more details to emerge before writing about it.
That is what I do sometimes. I pretend that I am an actual writer and
wait for results and more information before slapping on a social
justice warrior hat and protesting wrong doings. This is about a 22
year old mother that died while in police custody. She happens to be
Black which made people immediately think of Sandra Bland before
getting any more details about it. “Don't need details. They're
both Black!” I need details. I'm that guy which is why my hair used
to fall out from stress. There is always more in my way of thinking.
Symone Marshall moved to Texas from
Detroit a few months ago. She and a friend, Amanda Arnold, got into
an accident saying they were run off the road causing their car to flip three times. Police arrived and they found cocaine in the vehicle and
say that Marshall gave them a fake name. They both refused medical
attention and showed no obvious signs of being injured. They were
both arrested for the drug charge with Marshall having false
identification added. Amanda was released the next day after posting
bond but Marshall couldn't post the $5,000. Two weeks later she had a seizure in her
cell. This is all on video unlike the Bland case. She was pronounced
dead later at a hospital.
