Why Aren’t We As Universally Outraged Over Sandra Bland’s Death As We Are Over Cecil The lion?

8. Are you implying the cops murdered all of them?

There isn't nearly enough information to determine that. Half of them are just "this person died in police custody, ergo they were murdered by police".

I wouldn't discount the possibility of any of those, but you really should have actually evidence if you're going to make grand claims.

"Mount Vernon, Maryland resident Raynetta Turner, 43, was arrested on a shoplifting charge Saturday and was found dead in her cell on Monday. She told arresting officers that she had medical issues. She was taken to a hospital and examined, then released back into police custody on Sunday night. When police came to take the mother of 8 before the judge at 2 p.m. on Monday, she was found lying on her side in her cell, unresponsive. She was pronounced dead by paramedics. "

How is this murder? It sounds like the person had a medical issue, were taken to the hospital and they appeared fine and then they died later on. Granted, that isn't a lot of information, but if the article is going to imply they were murdered they should have more information.

Sandra Bland's death is suspicious as all hell and I think they are covering up some major (probably some idiot went cowboy on her, realized they messed up hard and faked a suicide), but there just isn't enough in that article to make a determination about anything of the other ones.

It is intellectually dishonest to imply they were all murders without more proof. Not every single person who dies in police custody was murdered by the cops.
