13496691, smh.. I bet every jail in the south has mass grave sites

13496755, 89 jails in the state of Mississippi

There’s probably a pauper’s grave at each one. Multiply that by 215 and thats over 19k bodies and families that havent been contacted, 19k death reports that havent been filed.
13496759, I be a majority of them are "Black"

and we will have goofy people waving flags saying this is our country.
13496762, Were these prisoners are just random people?
Posted by Cenario, Mon Jan-08-24 12:39 PM
And where did the families think they were?

i'm so lost.
13496781, RE: Were these prisoners are just random people?
Posted by 3CardMolly, Mon Jan-08-24 04:32 PM
That depends on rather a death report was even made and it appears a lot of those bodies didnt have death reports.
13496820, why are you confused? Its probably prisoners and anyone they killed
Posted by legsdiamond, Tue Jan-09-24 10:30 AM

instead of booking them in jail or a holding cell.


13496837, because the article doesnt say....but thanks for your explanations.

Dexter Wade, Mississippi man killed by police, buried without family knowing, not embalmed, had ID, lawyer says


Dexter Wade, the Mississippi man fatally run over by a police SUV and buried in a pauper’s field without his family knowing for seven months, had his ID card on him when he was killed, according to his family’s attorney.
13496786, oh they gotta make his family the chiefs of police...
Posted by PROMO, Mon Jan-08-24 04:41 PM
AFTER they give them like 30 million dollars.

what the fuck?
13496784, RE: i heard something crazy about how one of the bodies was a dude...
Posted by 3CardMolly, Mon Jan-08-24 04:37 PM
Yes. This also brings to mind the hundreds of Native american children bodies that were found buried at Canadian Indian residential schools.
13496785, that's literally the first thing i thought of when this broke.

13496804, Why hasnt anyone been arrested for murder???
Posted by 3CardMolly, Tue Jan-09-24 12:12 AM
Jpd knows it was one of their off duty cops that killed Dexter Wade, wtf have they not been arrested?
13496836, cause cops and judges work together in these towns
Posted by legsdiamond, Tue Jan-09-24 12:50 PM
hopefully they can identify the bodies with DNA.

13497120, in the case of Dexter Wade, they KNOW who his killer is
Posted by 3CardMolly, Sun Jan-14-24 02:08 PM
They know what day and time he was killed and that he was struck by an off-duty officer’s vehicle. They know this and yet from Fox to Forbes to CNN they are writing the narrative as if the cop car turned into Christine and just running folks down on its own.

I bet if the ‘i just dont give af’ driver’s started running all JPD officers down on sight, they’d name names with quick process.
13496821, The same MS that allowed a cop to shoot an 11 year old?

The kid who called the cops to protect his mother?

13497122, I knew that Mississippi is the Blackest state in terms of population
Posted by csuave03, Sun Jan-14-24 03:18 PM
percentage but I was not aware that Jackson is considered the Blackest city with a population that is over 80% Black

Memphis has the largest Black population in terms of number of people
13497141, The first point may be true, the second most certainly is not.
Posted by Mignight Maruder, Mon Jan-15-24 09:55 AM
Memphis’s total population is only a little over 600,000 - of which 60% of the population is Black. That’s about 400,000. Detroit is smaller, has a larger Black population both by percentage of the population and total number. Other large cities like NYC, Chicago, Philly, and Houston all have larger or equal numbers too.

Mississippi is in a class of its own for a variety of reasons though…
13497145, probably means % of population
Posted by legsdiamond, Mon Jan-15-24 11:29 AM
no way Memphis has the highest population of Black folk.

Atlanta, Houston, NYC, LA, Philly, DC all seem like they would have more Black folk.

but I can see how % wise Memphis and Jackson could be higher

13497147, Both Detroit and Jackson are around 80%, with Jackson
Posted by Mignight Maruder, Mon Jan-15-24 11:53 AM
having a slightly higher%. But it’s close and Detroit has 400,000 more residents.

Memphis’s numbers are extremely close to Baltimore’s (about 60%).

Maybe he meant highest % in the metro area? I could see that bc of Memphis’s location. But the sheer volume of AA’s living in the NYC, Chicago, Philly, DC, ATL, Miami, Dallas, Houston area has to be much higher bc those are much larger (population wise) metro areas.
13497168, The Black population of Memphis is reported to have surpassed
Posted by csuave03, Mon Jan-15-24 04:10 PM
the Black population of Detroit according to some sources. Memphis is considered to be the largest majority Black city which is what I meant to write above.

NYC does have a higher number of Black people than any other city. The other large cities you mentioned also have larger numbers of Black residents than Memphis.

Additionally over 50% of Black people in the US live in the South.

Thanks for fact checking
