There has been black women who have perished in holding cells while being processed after arrest. May God bless Ms.Keechie heart.n her soul rest in heavenly?peace. She always had a beautiful smile on her face n kindhearted. If we do nothing n say nothing, justice will be to no avail. Time Queens strong black women take tht stand now.
How about women in general. Stop being segregated in race.
Keechie you will be forever loved and missed dearly !
Rest peaceful keechie!
My thing is, this situation is crazy. People always quick to defend the system. Something happened to her. Hands Down! Justice will be served. She might be gone but, please believe, she will be felt.
I’m not defending anything. To assume foul play without a thorough investigation of the facts is inadvisable.
It’s a tragic occurrence, but we should not rush to judgement or assume anything until the facts are in.
Does it occur to anyone that she might have died of natural causes, in her sleep, perhaps? Don’t rush to judgement before you know the facts.
Natural causes at 56 years old….?
No one at 56 dies from natural causes. Yes at 86 or 96. This woman was seen on Sunday and was ready to celebrate her birthday in the next two days!
If you’ve ever been through the system, just k ow that you can say your sick or it feeling well and the cops don’t care and all the medical staff will do is just say drink water and give you aspirin
Wow they didn’t check on her
LAWSUIT
Wow
The worst possible thing I have read in ages. This is a disgrace!
