He sped up to catch up with her. You can see it happen and she had not changed lanes until he was already on her ass. Why did he chase her down?

Why take her glasses off? I feel like he did that because he had every intention of smashing her head into the ground.

Why didn't they get her any medical attention? She requested EMS. They not only didn't take her, they lied and said she didn't request any medical attention.

If the pictures of the cell were taken immediately after her death, and nothing was touched, why is there a brand new trash bag liner in the gigantic can in her cell? Why is that can in her cell at all?

Why is the video of the cell when EMS is called to her actually a video of the monitor and not what was recorded? Why is there a pause in the video and nothing showing what happened while we watch a freeze frame? You can see that the monitor is still being recorded but the recording of what is on the monitor is frozen for many seconds. Could be a full minute. What was going on then? I suspect a garbage can is being put into the cell.

Why was she brutalized so badly that a leaf was still in a cut in her back?

What happened when she asked how to use the phone an hour before she was murdered?

Why is there no video that actually looks into the cell or at least a better look at the cell? I don't believe that's the only angle or camera.

Why is the DoJ not involved? The FBI infiltrated BLM. They cannot be trusted in this anymore than the local police can be.

Why is the trooper still working? He was so bad that police departments in the Chicago area are using the dashcam video as a training tape of what NOT to do.

Why hasn't there been any admonishment for telling whoever got the video on their phone to leave and stop recording?

I have so many more questions I could write a book
