Rest in Peace Alim Rahim

An old childhood friend of mine was brutally murdered this past Mother’s Day in Largo, Maryland. There have been reports that Alim was shot 10 times and twice in the head. Alim and I hadn’t talked much as adults but I was sincerely rooting for him and wishing him the best. We lived completely different lives and we were so different but that time I saw him in Burger King a couple years after high school graduation and we were talking about his music and his goals. He still reminded me of the kid I knew back in elementary school. I always knew Alim had a strong heart and a sharp mind, even back in our High Bridge Elementary School days. I’m probably rambling, I’m sorry. I will hold on to the memories of us riding bikes all day during the summer and playing video games at your house up the street. I’m so sorry a coward has stolen your life from you Alim, please rest in peace and watch over your friends and family.

If anyone knows ANYTHING about this PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE call 1-866-411-8477 (TIPS) You will remain anonymous.

Please boost this, Alim’s friends and family are hurting so much right now.

Illinois Woman Who Drove To Texas For New Job Found Hanging/Dead In Jail Cell 3 Days Later

Sandra Bland died in police custody this past Monday. Visiting Texas from Chicago to interview for a college job at her alma mater of Prairie View A&M, she was pulled over for a routine traffic violation (failure to use her turn signal). Everything from that point forward screams racism and foul play, including her death in the Waller County jail Monday.

The Waller County Sheriff’s Office told the Chicago Tribune that Bland was arrested on Friday and charged with “assault on a public servant.”

A video capturing the incident shows differently!! 

It shows several police officers standing over Bland while she is on the ground, arguing with them about why they’re being so rough. 

At one point, she can be heard saying, “You just slammed my head into the ground. Do you not even care about that?” She also thanks the man recording the incident for filming as she is led to a police cruiser.

Her friend, Malcolm Jackson, told ABC 7, 

“After he (an officer) pulled her out of the car, forced her and tossed her to the ground, knee to the neck, and arrested her.”

What we see from a bystander video is her telling the officers she is in pain and cannot hear after her head was slammed on the ground by the male arresting officer. 

We have now learned that Waller County Sheriff Glenn Smith, who made the first public comments about Bland’s in-custody death, was suspended for documented cases of racism when he was chief of police in Hempstead, Texas, in 2007. After serving his suspension, more complaints of racism came in, and Smith was actually fired as chief of police in Hempstead

Family and Friends close to Sandra, including most of twitter, is at an uproar, believing there was no way she committed suicide, and saying that foul play was at work.

“I do suspect foul play,” another friend, Cheryl Nanton, told the news station. “I believe that we are all 100 percent in belief that she did not do harm to herself.”
