'I can't breathe': White man dies in police custody in Mississippi

Via David "Oh, wait, it was a WHITE man.  Never-mind.  And isn't it curious how there are no crowds of white looters, or white arsonists, or, or, or?  Why, it's almost as if there are cultural differences between American whites and blacks leading to a propensity of one to riot, kill, etc., and the other not to do so?"


The family of a young white man who died in police custody in Mississippi is struggling to find answers about the circumstances of his death. Thirty-year-old Troy Goode, who was described in a press release as devoted family man and a chemical engineer, was taken into custody at a July 18 concert in Southaven, Mississippi. Goode’s wife, Kelli, was driving from the Snowden Grove event center in the northern Mississippi town. With them was their infant son. While they were driving, Edwards descended from the vehicle near a local shopping center for as yet undetermined reasons. According to attorney Tim Edwards of Memphis TN, who is of counsel to Goode’s family, "He was intoxicated and his wife was driving…He was acting erratically and got out of the car for reasons unknown." Kelli Goode stopped the couple’s car at approximately 7:45 PM on the fateful day.

  1. When blacks riot they burn the neighborhood. When whites riot they burn the continent.
