This is so suspect. Come on people lets be honest. No cop black or white takes there eye off of a young black man during a “routine” stop. And he supposedly shot himself with a gunshot. Yeah right. Come on!! My thoughts and prayers goes out to the family. BUT PLEASE KEEP INVESTIGATING.

damn shame.. I was gonna ask was this in PG county MD b/c PG cops are some real killers. They get away with anything, except one case but the cop was black.

Prince Geroge County Police in MD get away with everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Ms. Bossy

LOL… you should really quit your day job and become a comedienne… Because you struggle with reading comprehension.

How do I put this in simple terms for simple people. NO ONE KNOWS HOW THE YOUNG MAN DIED. Get it?

If two people have committed suicide in front of you… they need to question YOU… That’s the point of investigations. Now I see why you’re so hostile…People can’t stand to be around you, so they’re offing themselves… Dang…that’s a tough existence.

See I wasn’t even going to address this issue, but here we go! I live in Mississippi and I was once a certified police officer before I burned out and wanted to do something waaaaaaay different. Now let us understand..Hatred is everywhere..not just in Mississippi! Remember, even though our family fled NORTH, does not mean they escaped people that disliked them for the Color of their skin. There are racist people North, South, East and West so be very careful pointing your finger down south..remember you have 3 more pointing right back at cha. Now this young man WAS the star of this small town in Mississippi, but no one person knows exactly what was on his mind. Our youth are so caught up in emotions and so many different things that we as adults fail to notice the warning signs. Let’s move away from…”Yea” their young..they will get over it”..HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT EXACTLY? Hurting is apart of life, but it’s a bad part of life when you feel you do not have someone to share your problems with! This young man could have been surrounded by hundreds of people each day, but could have still been a lonely SOUL! Let me leave this with you…the evidence will speak for itself..his soul is now in Gods hands. Let us Pray for his family and those that new his darkest secret and pray that they get shaken up enough to come forward and tell the truth!…God Bless!

We will be seeing a lot more racial profiling because you have some not all white Americans that are still very upset about OBAMA winning presidency. It’s sad but yet true, I am raising a young black male and we experienced a situation here in Florida where the police just openly harassed me and my son. Without going into detail he basically saw my son alone at first and did not know I was with him. So Black America we have to stand up and be ready for what this world is going to TRY and attack us with. But if GOD is for us who can be against us!!!!!!!!!!

If it was just a traffic stop and the car was not stolen, why would he hasten a so called suicide? There would have been no need for incarceration to disrupt his intentions and there was no concern for paying the traffic fine later. There seems to be no need for him to kill himself at that moment.

Do star college-bound athletes normally carry guns in Mississippi? Do footballers normally kill themselves on Monday Night Football nights? Ok maybe those two questions are not so relevant, but can any of his friends verify the shotgun was his? Nobody has a gun that they have not shown to at least a best friend. Besides, for anyone with minimal knowledge of firearms, a shotgun doesn’t normally leave small entry wounds. Shotguns at close range normally remove body parts altogether.

This does not add up so effortlessly, but then again you never know what lurks in the hearts and minds of some people today. For one thing, how much data does a Black man require to understand that being out in the wee hours of the morning in any city, let alone a Southern city, is immediate exposure to the kill zone?

This case can be solved. The question is “will it be solved?”
