What Happened To Michael Jefferson?

This used to be Michael Jefferson. He was found injured in a lockup. He died at a local hospital. The family wants to know why his body looks unrecognizable.

For those new to World News Today, I want to say thanks again for reading our blog. What we do is bring an honest opinion about the issue facing our community, the government and the mainstream media.

My biggest concern right now is police brutality. I am concerned that Donald J. Trump, Republicans and Democrats are sanctioning the murder of people of color. They continue to allow bad cops continue to reign terror upon those of color.

I am not saying all cops are bad. But there's a pattern of behavior within police departments and police union where they are "immune" to accountability.

There hasn't really been many bad cops indicted in the murder of people of color. Most cops often have the backing of the police union, the fickle public and a handful of agitators willing to dissect the victim's history with law enforcement.

It's no coincidence that a man who was found dead in a Chicago area lockup. The Chicago lockups are some of the most dangerous facilities in the United States.

Michael Jefferson's death has brought attention to prison reform.

A man who was being held at Menard was found swollen and unconscious before he died.

Now the family is demanding answers to why he died.

Michael Jefferson was a 27 year old man who was serving time in Menard for a parole violation.

His mother Janel Charles, said that lockup told her that he was found unresponsive in a segregation cell before he was rushed to the hospital. He would die the following day.

When the body was released to the family, Janel was shocked to see her son. He had lumps on head, a bruised lip, cuts on his back, mouth and his body look unrecognizable.

The Illinois Department of Corrections said that the appearance shows signs of decomposition.

Michael Jefferosn's family decided to post the gruesome photos on social media and they went viral.

On the GoFundMe page, Janel said that she's really angered that her son was brutalized.

A mother is furious over the death of her son.

"When I got to the funeral home here in Chicago I couldn't believe my eyes. My son's face was swollen beyond recognition. He still has blood in his nose, cuts in his mouth, a knot on the side of his head. MY CHILD WAS MURDERED! Whatever went on in there, he did not deserve to die that way... He died like an animal."

This is a tragic situation. With tension high in the United States, I wouldn't be surprise this stuff happens without anyone held accountable for actions rendered.

Black Lives Matter demands police and prison reform. The death of Michael Jefferson rings eerie to the death of Sandra Bland.

And like I've said numerous times on this blog.

WHEN COPS SEE A BLACK MAN WITH A FIREARM REGARDLESS OF IT BEING LEGAL OR ILLEGAL, THEY AUTOMATICALLY SHOOT THE BLACK MAN. EVEN AN UNARMED BLACK MAN JUST REACHING FOR A WALLET OR A DOOR HANDLE COULD BE KILLED BY THE COPS.

THE POLICE AND JUNK FOOD MEDIA TRY TO MAKE THE VICTIM, "THE BAD GUY" BY BRINGING UP HIS PAST HISTORY, HIS SOCIAL MEDIA OR HIS FAMILY LIFE. 

MANY WHITES (IN LARGE GROUPS) HAVE FIREARMS IN FRONT OF POLICE AND THEY NEVER GET SHOT OR KILLED. WHY AREN'T THEY AFRAID OF THEM?

WHENEVER SOMEONE COMPLAINS ABOUT LACK OF BLACK FATHERS, I CONTINUE TO DENOUNCE THIS BULLSHIT. I REMIND THEM THAT THE POLICE KILL BLACK FATHERS. THE POLICE LEAVE CHILDREN OF COLOR WITHOUT A BLACK FATHER. AND NO AMOUNT OF MONEY COULD BRING THE PEACE AND TRANQUILITY TO THE FAMILIES OF THOSE KILLED BY THE COPS.

FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!

I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

DONALD J. TRUMP, REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ARE INEPT. THEY ARE NUMB TO GUN VIOLENCE. THEY CONTINUE TO ALLOW FIREARMS IN THE HANDS OF TERRORISTS AND BAD COPS.

EXPECT MORE COPS SHOOTING UNARMED OR LEGALLY ARMED PEOPLE OF COLOR.

EXPECT COPS TO WALK WHEN THEY CLAIM THEY USED DEADLY FORCE BECAUSE THEY FEARED FOR THEIR LIVES.

EXPECT MORE MASS SHOOTINGS.

EXPECT GOOD COPS TO BE KILLED BY TERRORISTS. 

POLICE DEPARTMENTS CONTINUE TO ALLOW BAD COPS AND CORRUPT POLICE UNIONS TO REIGN STATE SPONSORED TERRORISM UPON PEOPLE OF COLOR.

POLICE KILLING PEOPLE OF COLOR IS STATE SPONSORED TERRORISM.

BEING A COP IS A THANKLESS JOB. THEY CONTINUE TO SERVE AND PROTECT IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS JOB.

WE DON'T CONDONE VIOLENCE AGAINST LAW ENFORCEMENT OR ANY HUMAN BEING.
