Merv Douglas murder aftermath

O shiz, a Merv Douglas was shot to death on the west side of the 2300 block of N Charles while entering his own home last night (near where the Golden Temple used to be, now Wazobia).

 from a friend near 23rd: small automatic weapons, semi-auto fire, 5 shots, followed by screaming, lots of police activity.

The family of Ahjee Harrod deny that they were estranged from her, they admit she hadn't been living with family for the past month but say they talked to her on the phone often.* A "vigil will be held about 7 p.m. at the intersection of E. Eager and N. Bond streets ...  funeral will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday at Southern Baptist Church, 1701 North Chester Street."

Quality Cham comment: "The police claim Ahjee Harrod was "missing" and "known to police".  But they we find out Ms. Harrod was attending school regularly, the principal of her school knew who she was, Ms. Harrod was posting regularly on Facebook and she was living with a family member.  That doesn't sound like missing to me. The police want a reason to dismiss this homicide as a non-issue.  The family sees this event quite differently.  Since we have so many conflicting opinions about the timeline and what was going on, I'd like to see some facts and data.  Perhaps the family might consent to releasing any and all documents relating to Ms. Harrods supposed criminal history.  If she didn't have one I'd like to know about it.  I shudder to think that because juvenile records are sealed that the police are able to allude to a fantasy criminal history for any young person as a reason to justify and ignore a homicide case, as well as sully a dead child's reputation."

Are these the changes you'd been hoping to see? Shelly Glenn has been appointed as Chief of the Police Integrity Unit. Is this a new unit? Will she be prosecuting officers in a public court, or in some secret police court? .. Fenton tweeted that she handled prosecuting John Leopold in AA County. Maybe she'll get around to prosecuting old dirty-riding Carl Snowden.

 Effective today, PC Batts has reinstated appointed rank of Captain within BPD. Dep Majors will now be known as Captains

The story on young Ms. Harrod is becoming increasingly distrubing to me the way its being put out. I'm quite frankly alarmed that a bigger deal is not being made after several teen girls were brutally murdered.

Is there a connection to the complexion? If they were blond-haired, blue-eyed white girls, would this story be told in a different manner? The Spectator wants to know...

Of COURSE there would be outrage. It's disgusting, but it's true. The media loves dead white girls (obviously innocents). Dead brown or black... eh, not so much. This kind of crap infuriates me. Reminds me of Travon Martin. Black teenager got shot? Eh, must have had it coming, nothing to see here.
