Who was Sheneque Proctor?

I just saw an interesting short film that kind of brings home the "black lives matter" debate that has been taking place in this country. (Shout out to HLN for putting on the young brother that produced the film tonight.)


Everyone (black and white) should watch it, and they should think long and hard about their own thoughts on race after they do.


So speaking of black lives, there was an incident in an Alabama jail recently that I would like to bring to everyone's attention.

"BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The death of an 18-year-old woman while in custody in the city of Bessemer, outside Birmingham, has sparked controversy among residents of this largely African American community. Many, including the NAACP, are asking how she died and who was responsible.

County and city authorities aren’t talking, but the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) is looking into the Nov. 2 death of Sheneque Proctor in the Bessemer City Jail, according to SBI spokeswoman Robyn Bryan.

Ms. Proctor, who lived in neighboring Brighton, was at a Bessemer hotel with friends when she was arrested on Saturday night, Nov. 1. Her aunt, Tracy Rodda, said that officers told Proctor she was being charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

Early the next morning, she was found dead in her cell, according to Rodda, who said her niece had complained of problems with asthma.

Bessemer officers declined to give details when a reporter representing Weld asked them how Sheneque Proctor died and what she was charged with. The reporter asked to see a copy of the arrest report but was denied.

Bessemer City Attorney Shan Paden said, “I know the case. I know we had a death in the jail. Erring on a conservative side, not to protect the city but to protect the rights of an 18-year-old, the city of Bessemer will not disclose any information.”

Proctor’s mother, Scherita Proctor, reached at her home, said, “We don’t know what happened. I’ve heard lots of things. I don’t want to speculate. We’re waiting on a death certificate.”

Proctor graduated from Pleasant Grove High School in May. Her mother described her as “sweet and loving.” Sheneque leaves behind a 5-month-old son, Zamaruien Blevins.

Besides the controversy arising from the death of an 18-year-old mother, there are questions being raised about how exactly Proctor was treated. Relatives indicated that Sheneque complained of how officers had dealt with her.

“She said three officers were handling her really rough,” said Rodda, who added witnesses have claimed as many as six Bessemer officers were involved with Sheneque’s arrest.

Later calls to Scherita Proctor to confirm Rodda’s account were not returned.

Rodda said that on the night of her arrest Sheneque Proctor had called her mother, who did not have the bail money. Rodda said she wishes she had gotten the call. “Maybe we could have come up with $235 [for bail].”

On the morning of Saturday, Nov. 2, two detectives went to the Brighton home of Scherita Proctor and informed her of her daughter’s death, according to Rodda."

Now let me say for the record that I don't know the race of the police officers who arrested Ms. Proctor, or that of the jailers who were charged with watching her. It doesn't matter.


The fact that an 18 year old can go to jail for disorderly conduct and end up dead the very next morning is troubling. The fact that the authorities are being so tight lipped about the entire incident is scary.

    It's stories like these that make blah folks leery of law enforcement. I wondered why my mom and wife (girlfriend at the time) were freaking out when I got arrested, I was thinking no big deal because it's just a small suburb I'll be like Anabese up in that mug but as this story confirms you never know when dealing with the rollers.
    Good looking on catching this story, I'll try to keep up with it.

  2. Good news bad news day in Chicago. Good news, the Presidential library will definitely be here. The only decision will be whether it resides on the weat side or south side. You know what I say because all of the southside sites are close to my house and would be cool to visit especially for out of town guests (you can only get so far driving down 51st slowly pointing out Barack's house which you can barely see through the large SUV and barriers blocking the view.)

    Bad news is that Judy Topinka died today, one of the last real Illinois Republicans. She was a moderate and stayed out of social issues which is how we like our politicians. She will be missed.

    Jail is always scary, simply because of the loss of control. Sure, there is always the possibility of abuse, from guards or prisoners. But you could also die of neglect, particularly if you've got a health condition. Things like medical care or food are no longer in your control.

    There've been a couple scary cases like that recently.

    There was the woman in Pennsylvania whose kids racked up fines as a penalty for not attending school. The woman couldn't pay, so the judge jailed her instead. She died overnight. Maybe there was nothing that could've been done, and she would have died anyway. But then again, maybe if she hadn't been in jail, she could've seen a doctor and survived.

    http://bit.ly/1zyIAwx

    There was also the case of the college kid a couple years back who got busted by DEA agents in a drug raid. They threw him in an unused holding cell -- then forgot about him, punched out for the night, and left him there for 5 days with no food or water. Oops! Dude thought he was gonna die and resorted to drinking his own pee.

    Oh well, at least he'll have the consolation of the $4.1 million his lawyers extracted from the taxpayers in compensation.

  6. Blacks sometimes let their Jew arousal get the best of them.


    “I Want to Kill the Jew!”

    "An Israeli student praying in a Brooklyn synagogue was stabbed in the neck early Tuesday after a knife-wielding maniac burst inside and yelled “I want to kill the Jew!”

    NYPD anti-terror cops swarmed Chabad-Lubavitch World Headquarters at 770 Eastern Pkwy. not long after the 1:45 a.m. attack and fatally shot the man who had the knife, police and witnesses said.

    Startling video shows cops ordering the suspect to put the knife down in the basement of the building.

    The man initially complied, placing it on a chair. Moments later, according to the video first posted by the Israeli news site 0404, the man walks back and picks up the knife again.

    “Drop the f—–g knife,” cops can be heard yelling repeatedly.

    A single shot rang out and hit the man in the stomach, according to cops.

    The suspect, 49-year-old Calvin Peters, immediately went to the ground in the video. He died at Kings County Hospital at 3:15 a.m., police said.

    The 22-year-old student, Levi Rosenviat, was in stable condition at the same hospital, according to authorities at the scene.

    One cop was treated for ringing in his ears at New York Methodist Hospital.

    “I will kill the Jew! I want to kill the Jew!” a witness heard the attacker yelling as he entered the 24-hour religious center."

    There are similar reports in other areas of the country of people arrested for this or that who also have medical conditions, who've been denied their meds, neglected and then ...dead. It is clear that some review of procedure is in order for each of these cases.
    Earlier comment about the young woman resting arrest...we don't know if that is established regardless of whether it is the charge. We've been seeing countless videos and descriptions of how police start shouting, "Stop resisting. Stop resisting." All the while, the person they're arresting is totally in their control and the cops are hammering on them. Just looking cross-eyed at a cop can get you arrested for resisting. And stop with the "baby-daddy" crap. So what?

    No. That is not how jail works. You get to have what they let you have. If they decide not to provide you with asthma medication and you have an attack, then you get to suffocate to death.

    Please. Lets examine some of the info regarding the unfortunate Miss Proctor. We already know she makes poor decisions because of a child without a known baby daddy, buy hey, that's just the norm in the Black community.
    Miss Proctor is a victim of Black run America. She comes from a small town with a shrinking population that is 90% Black. She's arrested in Bessemer another fading town with a shrinking population, except for its Black citizen which accounts for 70% of the demographic. The mayor is even Black. Then there are the crime stats. Bessemer has a violent crime rate about 5 times the national norm and it's one of the most crime ridden towns in Alabama. But this is where she wanted to go party. Classy. Nothing like having that extended matriarchal family with granny doing the baby sitting and the "younins" going out and working ( translates into having more babies for the benefits) How many Obama phones do you really need? I'd really look at this from another angle Field. You're just not getting it.

    Know this. Although fallen angels lost in their fall all heavenly graces, they retained the powers which are integral to their natural existence, and of these not the least is the power to operate upon matter, to transfer it from place to place, to assume a human appearance and to act upon man. Accordingly they are fully able to assist these processes of dematerialization, which brings about that subtlety able to penetrate material objects, and to re-form itself in a tangible and solid body. These Angels, having then mated with humans, give forth offspring who thirst for living sustenance. It is an eternal thirst for the essence of life. For life is what they lack having been unable to inherit it from the demon parent. Hense, they are Nephilim /ˈnɛfɨˌlɪm/ (Hebrew: נפילים‎). See Genesis 6:4 if you doubt.

    With 70% of blacks never knowing who they daddy is, it can't be helped.

    Dear 9:43,

    This is what I thought. It's much easier to assume everyone is your brother or sister than to attempt the impossible task of tracking exactly which groups of people share the same daddy. It's better if the Federal Government avoids the as well since it would unnecessarily complicate the process of determining how much Welfare money to a lot to each "family."

    PilotX actually grew up on a small pig farm in Chandler, Oklahoma. His parents raised him in a mud pen and his father taught him how to rope chickens at an early age and eat them raw. That way they didn't have to feed him. Pilot played football. At least that's what they told him kicking turds around was called. But most days you could find him in the barn tending to his member and practicing his so called "calf-roping" skills. Later, he married that calf.
