Nice White Dad’s (troy goode) Autopsy Suggests Being Hogtied By Cops A Horrible Way To Die

What a shock


Nice White Dad’s Autopsy Suggests Being Hogtied By Cops A Horrible Way To Die



Wonkette has been following the story of a 31-year-old Memphis dad named Troy Goode, who in July went to a Widespread Panic concert in Southaven, Mississippi, with his wife, Kelli, and somehow ended up dying at the hospital in Southaven police custody hours later.

Goode had dropped a bit of recreational LSD at the show, and apparently the experience wasn’t going well, so Kelli decided to take him home early. Near the venue, she pulled over and he got out of the car. Witnesses mistook the events for a “domestic dispute” and called the cops, which is when things went very wrong.

Witnesses reported Goode was hogtied by officers as he was having an asthma attack, and that before he was shunted into an ambulance, he could be heard screaming, “I CAN’T BREATHE!” Police wouldn’t let Kelli give him his inhaler. Later, they threatened to arrest her when she tried to inquire as to Troy’s well-being in the hospital. Totally normal behavior. Within an hour of arriving at the hospital, Goode was dead.
LSD may be illegal, but it only leads to death approximately zero percent of the time. However, Southaven police and city officials were pretty certain Goode was “acting erratically from an alleged LSD overdose,” and maybe that was why he died. Then reality intervened and the official story changed.

. . . . . .



Time’s up, though, and on Wednesday, the Goode family attorneys held a press conference and released the results of their independent autopsy. In the shock of the century for all who have been following the case, it says hogtying a person in the throes of an asthma attack just might be enough to kill a man:
In the presser, attorneys also divulged details about that day that were heretofore unknown to the public, like the part about how Mississippi Emergency Management Services allegedly violated pretty much everything they ever learned about EMS-ing, by failing to provide Goode the medical care he obviously needed in the ambulance.

. . . . .




We like that last sentence, because even though it’s been eleventy-billion percent confirmed that he didn’t “die of drugs,” it’s nice to insinuate once again that maybe he did.

Instead of 'serve and protect' it is 'stomp em til they totally submit.'

Our 'justice' system needs a total restructuring.
