"SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) -- A Georgia coroner says a 22-year-old college student found dead in restraints at a county jail died from several blunt-force injuries to his head and upper body.
Chatham County Coroner Bill Wessinger confirmed Thursday that last month he ruled the death of Matthew Ajibade of Savannah a homicide caused by blunt-force trauma.
Ajibade was found dead Jan. 1 in a restraining chair at the Chatham County jail after he struggled with deputies booking him on a domestic violence charge. Authorities have not said how he died, citing an ongoing investigation.
Will Claiborne, an attorney for Ajibade's family, said his parents were "very distressed" to learn the cause and manner of death from their son's death certificate.
Sheriff Al St. Lawrence last month fired nine deputies in connection with Ajibade's death." [Source]
Maybe back in 1955 this was the norm, but it shouldn't be the case in 2015.
I read the part about Matthew Ajibade being a college student. Of course that doesn't matter.
Sadly, whether he was a college professor or a high school drop out, he still would have met the same fate.

If you haven't seen this already, Field, you should take a look. The Guardian has started a running database of everyone (that they know about) who was killed by cops in the U.S., starting in 2015. They seem to have included obviously unintentional killings -- such as in a traffic accident -- as well as ones that are possibly or definitely intentional.
http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2015/jun/01/the-counted-police-killings-us-database#
Maybe if people look at this, they will have a better idea of what is going on and it will help kill off some of the false and distorted narratives that are out there.
By false narratives, I mean some black people's beliefs that:
*cops only kill black people
*cops are never justified in killing
*if an unjustified killing occurs, it must always be because the cop is racist, never because they just screwed up
*cops kill more black people than black criminals
By false narratives, I also mean some white people's beliefs that:
*cops are all kindly, racism-free, and infallible
*cops never make a mistake, so if a cop killed you, it must have been your fault and society is better without you in it
*there's no problem here; nothing needs to be reformed or fixed
Key sentence: "after he struggled with deputies booking him on a domestic violence charge"
Another stupid negro fighting the po-lice.
I suppose the fact that he went to college gives him the right to beat up his girlfriend and then resist arrest?
WTF Field? Are you serious?
"Key sentence: 'after he struggled with deputies booking him on a domestic violence charge'"
Aaaaand there we go.
If you resist, in any way, no matter how minor that resistance might be, cops have a right to shoot you ... says the person with no respect for the Constitution and civil liberties and black people. Having cops act like the Gestapo is fine, as long as they're only doing it to black people. (FYI, though, they aren't. Bad cops do kill white people too.)
How did I describe this attitude in my previous comment? Oh yeah, this:
"cops never make a mistake, so if a cop killed you, it must have been your fault and society is better without you in it"
On the real, Field. This was a question I was going to ask you regardless of what the post was. I was just burning to ask you:
Why no commentary or self-righteous indignation from you over this literally unprecedented crime wave that's happening not too far away from you?
I understand bucking the system. Fuck the man, thumb in his eye, whitey is evil, die m'fer die! I get it! But why are the two always fucking mutually exclusive? You self-righteous do-nothings can actually do both, I promesso!
This young man did nothing wrong and did not deserve to die at the hands of the police. The bm was totally innocent. He did nothing wrong!
Brother Field, do you believe in the afterlife? Surely you do? If so, I bet this young man will find happiness in the next life because of how he was treated in this life in America as a bm.
I can hardly wait for the next life.
Where's that useless bitch Yisheng been at?
"Why no commentary or self-righteous indignation from you over this literally unprecedented crime wave that's happening not too far away from you?"
Crime wave. Jesus, what bullshit.
This is conservatives looking for a "disaster" caused by criticism of the police in order to make the argument that no one must ever criticize the police.
Assessing policing based on crime statistics over some short period of time is meaningless. Crime fluctuates a lot over the short term, and gets worse in the summer every year to boot.
Check in a year from now, or better yet with 2 years' worth of statistics and we'll see if there's anything interesting happening with crime rates.
Until then, fuck off with this irrelevant nonsense.
Another stupid negro fighting the po-lice.

If anyone ever doubted that Josh was just another far-right stooge whose only job in life is to bleat the latest far-Right talking point, read this shit...

What a thoroughly useless waste of DNA Josh is.
Oh and all black indignation over the assassination of unarmed black people on the streets is "self righteous" according to Josh.
But he's not a racist ......naaaaaaahhh, couldn't be...
The cops are investigating themselves again.

Nothing but a foul mouthed Negro. You say racist...as if observing that you are inferior because of your genetics is a bad thing. To hell with that, you are inferior. Everywhere Blacks are over 13% of the population, you have nothing but a savage jungle.
Blacks cannot live on their own, without white structure, white police, white welfare you have no one to stop you from putting the bone back into your nose.
Purple Cow, "What a thoroughly useless waste of DNA Josh is."
Now see? this is totally uncalled for. My God, man...This is being waaay too hard on JOSH. Why can't JOSH participate on FN without being castigated?
FYI, JOSH is a human being with feelings like everyone else. He really doesn't deserve your insults, Mr PC..... What IS your problem, man? You are a very angry man. What state do you live in? It has to be either MN or MD.
Anon @3:21, your cousin/wife must be so proud of u.
McFred, I am sure that wherever she is she is cintributing to society in some way.
Can we say the same about u?
"FYI, JOSH is a human being with feelings like everyone else."
Priceless...
He we have another black person who lacks self control, reasoning skills and respect for his fellow humans.
If he had treated the cops like humans, Matty would still be alive.
Black privilege kicks in. The cops are to blame. Never the actions of blacks.
And BTW, this isn't the norm. Black deaths at the hands of the police are at historic lows. White deaths are much higher. Hispanic deaths are rising. Of course, we will never see field conversate about that.
"Blacks cannot live on their own, without white structure, white police, white welfare you have no one to stop you from putting the bone back into your nose."
This is a slave master's comment. Wow. I thought slavery ended with the emancipation proclamation act. Guess not.
That's the trouble with Whites. You can't believe a damn thing they say. No wonder Putin and China ignores America.
Dr. Ramos is right: Black privilege can be fatal.
It can be fatal for whites in that blacks are taught that violence against whites is justified.
It can be fatal for blacks in that blacks are taught that to fight the police is "Field Negro Behavior".
They are supposed to be able to defy or run from the police without consequences. They feel they have the right to attack the police and the police must take it in stride.
When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination.
But equal treatment is the only way the law can function.
As a society, we need to stop teaching young black people that they have a duty to be angry and special right to act on that anger. The toll it is taking, especially on blacks, is horrific.
Black Privilege, you sound like you are White and privileged. Of course you are! I can tell by the way you think. I am your white brethren and I think the same way.
Do you ever know why some Blacks run from the police? It's because they are scared to death of cops. They are running for a reason. It is from past experiences with the police...hundreds of years of living in a hostile racist white society.
Hence, there are two law enforcement systems of justice in America: one for Whites and one for Blacks. However, BOTH systems are administered and overseen by Whites.
It's a good thing to be White in America. It's not so good to be Black in America.
Maybe we shouldn't care about DEGREES of lethal police violence, lethal is lethal. but somehow beating a man to death while he's strapped to a "restraining chair?"
Like beating someone to death after he's cuffed. Or helpless in any other way.
Worse than thugs.
Just sickening.
The cops were black.
The black leaders of Baltimore are invested in dysfunction, because dysfunction and the fog of war (in this case, civil unrest) allows them to perpetuate their rule. We see this all over America. Gentrification would bring White standards back to the area, resulting in a new batch of power-brokers. Because of this, the current power structure resists change.
Everyone should be aware of the black status-quo of civil dysfunction. It explains a lot of otherwise confusing issues like how no one is really to blame for murders; "space to destroy" zones; "it's only property" responses to destruction (talk about a formula to run off Whites- saying it's only property while a city burns is guaranteed to chill or kill White interest in investment and belonging); and of course, the branding of the word "thug" as a racist thought-crime in a city crawling with thug-like behavior.
All of the black responses to the crisis in Baltimore have been counter-intuitive, from a common-sense viewpoint. But there is no mystery here. The black leaders are acting quite sensibly, if you see their goal as consolidating power over the city by driving out critical thinking, and establishing destructive mob-rule.
A higher level of citizenry would be demanding a better class of leadership. But since they run the schools too, you wont be seeing a higher level of citizenry any time soon.
Cops across the nation are encouraging crime by refusing to do their job this cowardly posturing is taking place in NYC, Baltimore, Philly, etc
One of the advantages of having a dumbocrat president is when Black unemployment is double white unemployment, the left-wing media won't make an issue of it, the Sharptons won't organize about it, no #hashtags, other Black politicians will go crickets. Even Field Negro will keep quiet to protect his party.
http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t02.htm
If bush was still president, then the media would care about Black unemployment.
Flashback-
“If we had a white president we'd be marching around the White House.”
Emanuel Cleaver talking about what would happen if there was a white president presiding over double Black unemployment.
America is in a full state of Negrophobia is has now reach a crisis level in our police departments. The US Military recent urban exercises is also an aspect of this state of Negrophobia...
Obama's directive to the DOD to not release paramilitary weapons to domestic police departments was quote revealing and of course it was met with ugly racist posturing by police departments and unions across the country

Don't worry, Black Run America commands the military, and those guns will only ever be turned on white people. The government knows who their enemy is:

Remember Waco.
The mayor of Baltimore is trying to hide the autopsy from the public for some reason.
Meanwhile, her staff is giving up.
Fourth staffer leaving Rawlings-Blake's criminal justice team
he highest-ranking remaining member of the Mayor's Office on Criminal Justice has submitted her resignation, officials confirmed Tuesday.
Shannon Cosgrove, deputy director of the office, will be the fourth member of Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake's criminal justice team to leave in recent weeks.
Three others have left the office as Baltimore endures a rash of homicides and other violence following last month's rioting and unrest.
http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/baltimore-city/bs-md-ci-aide-to-depart-20150526-story.html
I wonder what the Mayor has done to disenfranchise her staff?
He we have another white person who lacks self control, reasoning skills and respect for his fellow humans.
If they had treated Matty like a human, Matty would still be alive.
White privilege kicks in. The guy handcuffed to the chair is to blame. Never the actions of the cops.
And BTW, this is the norm. Black deaths at the hands of the police are at historic lows because it can't get any higher. White deaths are much higher. Hispanic deaths are rising. Of course, we will never see Ramos conversate about that.
There, fixed it for ya.
The Obama crime wave washes over the country, destroying Black America in its wake.

Maybe you can find out and stop posting stupid shit until then maybe? We'd all be grateful but we know that's not gonna happen.
Whites cannot live on their own, without welfare you have no one to stop you from putting the meth back into your nose.

Because god only knows nothing is ever a problem until it affects white people right Ramos?
McF**k a duck, Yisheng is somewhere hoping your mother stops molesting boys.
