Anyone else think it’s mighty sus that someone was able to hold onto a gun in the back of a squad car? Especially someone who was arrested for weapon possession?
At best, this is a tragic suicide that the cops failed to prevent. I worry about the alternatives.
Wouldn’t be the first time someone with their hands cuffed behind their back managed to shoot themselves in the head. This woman apparently managed to defy the laws of physics and shoot herself through the mouth. Here’s another one; he apparently shot himself in the head while in the parking lot of the police station.
The problem is either that cops aren’t doing a good enough job of searching armed, suicidal, extreme contortionists, or that blue line is thicker than advertised.
There’s a candlelight vigil planned for the victim tonight at the Kenosha County Courthouse, at 7pm.
WISN 12 News has updated their article with critical statements from the victim’s father: https://www.wisn.com/article/family-demands-answers-after-police-say-arrested-man-died-by-suicide-in-backseat-of-police-cruiser/44615929
