Since stalkers edited my article, I added a paragraph about Terrell Scott, Shannon Nyamodi, and Robert Kirkland - three Americans (two blacks and one white) who were apparently tortured behind bars to force a plea deal. If something else is altered, I will add the links to the stories next. The added paragraph is below:<br /><br />What is happening to Shannon Nyamodi now (indefinite detention to force a plea deal) also happens to other people from the working class, whether black or white. Terrell Scott, a black youth in Pennsylvania, was imprisoned without trial for 4.5 years and was said to be mentally incompetent for trial, but he was deemed competent to sign a plea deal after years of torture. Robert ("Cotton") Kirkpatrick was allegedly assaulted by arresting police officers in Bolder, Colorado. The disabled veteran who happens to be a Caucasian suffered a broken leg and a bad sprain when officers allegedly tried to break his other leg. His collar bone was damaged as well and may require surgery. Cotton said he still experiences excruciating pain and was in and out of consciousness and in shock much of the time while he was incarcerated and denied hospital treatment for his broken body. Cotton said that when he finally agreed to sign a plea deal he released from jail and delivered to the hospital where his legs were treated and put in casts. Injustice negatively impacts all people everywhere, and all people must unite against it. MaryLovesJustice Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02911729765985760491noreply@blogger.com
