Dexter Wade Case: Miss. Police Car Hit Man, Buried In Unmarked Grave | Roland Martin...
Imagine reporting your child missing to the police, who knew your child was dead but didn't tell you for months!
That's the nightmare a Mississippi mother is dealing with.
It all started when an off-duty Jackson police officer struck and killed Dexter Wade as he was crossing a highway leaving his mother's house in March.
The Hinds County Coroner's Office identified him using fingerprints and information from prescribed medication police found at the scene. Police said they couldn't reach Wade's mother, Bettersten Wade Robinson, and left his body unclaimed at the morgue for months before burying him in an unmarked grave on the Hinds County Penal Farm...

The 1669 Casual Killing Act Still Seems Like A Working Policy When It Comes To Black Killings By White Hands
History has an odd tendency to repeat itself in a way that grossly disservices Black Americans.

CASUAL KILLING ACT 1669: DECLARED IT LEGAL TO KILL A SLAVE WHILE CORRECTING BECAUSE MALICE COULD NOT BE PRESUMED
Whereas the only law in force for the punishment of refractory servants resisting their master, mistress or overseer cannot be inflicted upon negroes, nor the obstinacy of many of them by other than violent means suppressed,
“Be it enacted and declared by this grand assembly, if any slave resist his master (or others by his masters order correcting him) and by the extremity of the correction should chance to die, that his death shall not be considered a felony, but the master (or that other person appointed by the master to punish him) be acquitted from molestation, since it cannot be presumed that malice existed(which alone makes murder a felony) [or that anything] should induce any man to destroy his own estate.”

“The Casual Killing Act of 1669 permitted any slaver, or white person, to legally murder an enslaved African without consequence when the death were to occur during the execution of punishment per PBS’ Thirteen.Org.
“Should a slave be killed as a result of extreme punishment, the master should not face charges for the murder,” the site states of the law.

1.) Study: The 'War On Cops' Is Pure Bullshit
Studies from the it-keeps-the-money-rolling-in-though dept
Fri, Apr 26th 2019 10:44am - Tim Cushing
The “War on Cops” is a belief system that’s currently being preached to the converted. Evidence abounds that it’s safer to be a cop now than it’s ever been, and yet, officers still claim they’re being targeted and use these unfounded fears to obtain military equipment and qualified immunity rulings.
“The number of line-of-duty deaths has declined dramatically over the last five decades. Policing is a much safer profession now than it was 50 years ago. Despite a 75% drop in deaths, however, there has been remarkable stability in geographic-, temporal-, and incident-level characteristics. Also, several notable changes over time reflect favorably on improved safety in policing, such as declines in deaths resulting from aircraft crashes and accidental gunfire. Other trends are troubling, though, such as the stability in deaths during auto pursuits and a two-fold increase in deaths from vehicular assaults. Currently, the “war on cops” thesis is not supported by any evidence, and we apply the 50-year lens in this study to provide important context for understanding recent trends in officer deaths.”

2.) FBI Data Reveal ‘War on Cops’ is Nonexistent
Loaded on JULY 21, 2018 by Dale Chappell published in Criminal Legal News August, 2018, page 35
Filed under: Statistics/Trends, Databases, Police, FBI. Location: United States of America.
“Where is the “war on cops” claimed by the country’s leaders? According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s annual report on law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty across the country, 93 cops died in the line of duty in 2017, and 118 were killed in 2016.
However, more than half were killed in accidents, and half of those were not wearing seatbelts. The data were compiled from local, state, federal, tribal, and campus police agencies.
Being a cop is not even in the top 10 most dangerous jobs in the United States. While some officers unfortunately die while on duty, the data clearly show that there is no “war on cops” as some falsely claim. In fact, being a federal law enforcement officer was one of the safest jobs in the country the past two years: None were killed in the line of duty in 2017, and only one was killed in 2016.
Yet, Congress still wants to make the killing of a cop a “hate crime.” The facts do not support this push. More cops were killed in previous years than the last two years. Clearly, line of duty deaths for cops are on the decline despite the rhetoric. The “war on cops” story is nothing more than a myth.
