St. Lois police claimed that Bernard Scott, 44 committed suicide in the jail where he was taken on a minor traffic violation. Actually after detention Scott had abdominal pain and bleeding but police blocked paramedics who were going to take him to the hospital. After Scott lost conciseness with a stiff muscles, cops called another ambulance and told the doctors that Bernard Scott hanged himself. Probably police could get away with it, but Scott survived and recalled everything: “Why would I hang myself? I was in on traffic tickets… the first ambulance driver wanted to take me with him, but the guy wouldn't let me leave.”

2 county shelters around my area have had their licenses revoked due to a “Systemic failure to care for animals.” In one, over 400 animals have been found dead this year. More than 90 in two different months, and over 30 animals have been found dead so far in August. As an animal lover and zoology major dedicating my life to help animals in need, this tears me apart. To have this happen just over an hour from me is sickening.
What’s more distressing than all of the animals that have already died is that the future of the survivors is up in the air. The shelters will remain open while its decided what to do, but no one is sure. All of the rescues are full and pulled thin as it is. I hope that they will be able to pull some, but there are just so many that need help.
So, please share this link and get the word out! If this goes viral, then the spotlight will make them more accountable for the future of these poor animals.
I’ve found the letters revoking licenses. They describe horrific and sickening conditions. In Guilford, animals with severe and extremely painful injuries like ruptured eyeballs, twisted spines, broken pelvises, and gunshot wounds were not given any veterinary treatment or pain medication. For DAYS, until they were euthanized. Some animals suffered without treatment for 11 or 12 days. In Davidson, a massively lethal and contagious disease swept through the shelter, especially among the cats. No vet was called or consulted with to try to fix this. In a span of 12 days in August, 38 animals were found dead.
Local rescues are actively trying to pull animals from these places, but there are so many animals that the communities cannot help them alone.
PLEASE signal boost this so that people know that these atrocious conditions will not be ignored!

I have a little cousin at MU whom I’m trying to contact right now. If y'all know anyone there or if you’re there please do what y'all can to be safe or get them to safety. This is scary.
If you don’t know my home situation which in turn ties into my financial situation I don’t have a lot of incoming money, and while I have been able to pay off bills most of the time it’s with the help of friends or donations. I’m on a plan with my energy company to help cut the cost down, however due to an error on their website my payment last month was delayed and as a result I’ve been kicked off the energy plan. While I’ve been on the phone with them since I’ve received the notice, nothing has helped and every state financial assistance program I’ve been to in the city is just legitimately out of assets to help people because of a lack of funding.
I’ve been able to get about $150 bucks so far, and I’ve managed to get the energy company to only want $1015 to put me back on the plan and avoid a shut off of my lights and electricity. Honestly I’m at the end of my rope in regards to this, my sisters have moved out after months of living here and not paying on bills and it’s just a mess. I haven’t eaten in a bit to scrape everything I can toward paying this, and if you can help out in anyway you can or just spread the word I’d be really fucking grateful.
My paypal is beiialedge@aol.com, like I said if you can just spread the word I’m more than grateful.
An Ohio woman died while in police custody in the Cleveland Heights jail early on Sunday morning. Ralkina Jones, 37, was picked up after a domestic dispute in a parking lot with her ex-husband on Friday night.
According to the incident report, Jones drove to a local business and smashed the driver’s side window a Ford Expedition belonging to her ex-husband, Brandon Jones. She also attempted to smash the windshield of the vehicle. Police say that when her ex-husband came outside to the parking lot to try to stop her, Jones scratched his face and hit him with a tire iron, causing a 2- to 3-inch cut. Family members toldlocal media that the incident occurred at her ex-husband’s place of work.
After her ex-husband got the tire iron away from Jones and walked away from the fight with a friend, Jones got back in her car and tried to run over the two men. Jones’s 12-year-old daughter, Kayla, was in the backseat of her car during the incident.
An independent witness at the scene corroborated Brandon Jones’s version of the dispute. However, according to the incident report, Jones told police that he didn’t want to press charges against his ex-wife.
Ralkina Jones was arrested and charged with felonious assault, domestic violence, and child endangerment. She was then taken to Cleveland Heights jail.
According to a press release issued by the Cleveland Heights police on Monday, Jones was placed in a cell at approximately 10:25 p.m. on Friday night. She had blood on her but no serious injuries, according to police.
At around 7:15 p.m. the next day, Jones appeared “lethargic” in her cell and was transported to the Cleveland hospital, HealthSpan. Four hours later, she was transported back to the jail.
After this the police information starts to become unclear. According to the police, a little over an hour after she arrived back at the jail, the paramedics were called a second time for Jones for an unspecified reason. The police say the paramedics “determined her vitals to be normal” at that time and Jones was thereafter given routine checks throughout the night.
Jones died some time early Sunday morning. The police did not say how many times she was checked during the night or what time she died.
The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner completed Jones’s autopsy on Monday and it revealed no suspicious injuries. The exact cause of death is yet to be determined.
BuzzFeed News reached out to Cleveland Heights Police Chief Jeffrey Robertson to ask why Jones was held for over a day after her ex-husband declined to press charges, why the paramedics were called a second time for Jones, why she was not taken to the hospital, how many times she was checked during the night, and what time she died, but he has not yet responded.
Jones’s is the third high-profile death of an African-American woman while in police custody in two weeks. On July 13, 28-year-old Sandra Bland died while in custody in Texas, and then one day later 18-year-old Kindra Chapman died in Alabama. Both women allegedly hanged themselves in their cells, and their deaths have been ruled suicides by officials.
PLEASE READ. WILL NOT HURT TO AND FORWARD. Kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little water in plastic drink bottles and capping it up - leaving it on lawns, in mail boxes, in gardens, on driveways etc. just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in the rubbish, but you’ll never make it!!!
If the bottle is picked up, and the bottle is shaken even just a little - in about 30 seconds or less it builds up enough gas which then explodes with enough force to remove some your extremities. The liquid that comes out is boiling hot as well. Don’t pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or in the gutter, etc. Pay attention to this. A plastic bottle with a cap. A little Drano. A little water. A small piece of foil. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!! No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc. Please ensure that everyone that may not have email access are also informed of this.
