Colin Kaepernick is funding an independent second autopsy for Trey Reed, the Black student found hanging from a tree at Delta State University, after the Mississippi State Medical Examiner ruled the death a suicide.

@msfreepress - Yeah to Mr Kaepernick.

@msfreepress

Thank you for this story and the focus on justice for Trey Reed.

Would you please add #AltText to your image for folks with visual impairments?

Either what @inquiline suggested, or something like this:

This shit was 100% a lynching and the fact that Police concluded otherwise means they were likely involved.

#Colin_Kaepernick is a national treasure with a whole buncha jewels in his crown

I stopped watching #NFL when they blackballed him, & never missed it. The whole system is racist af & the more I learn about how badly pro football messes people up the more I know #CapitalismKills - esp POC

The sporting 'ideal' has always covered massive exploitation

The WNBA puts on a good show, especially the Valkyries. How many expansion teams in *any* sport make the playoffs in their first season? Go Valks!

@LevZadov @msfreepress

My hubby is a big Liberty fan bc of Sabrina Ionescu but I personally prefer our local Storm. As pro sports go, #WNBA is definitely better than most

@msfreepress Thats not a suicide who hangs themselves from a tree in the US when you can get a gun so easily or get the cops to shoot you?

@msfreepress

Not an expert or a local, but this seems like a challenging tree to hang oneself on: it seems tricky to accomplish given the shape, requiring a lot of steps to carry through, and a pretty high likelihood of being interrupted. 🤷‍♂️

@msfreepress Oooh, that will piss MAGATs off.
@msfreepress Mississippi, striving to be the most racist state in the union. It's a close race but this latest state sanctioned murder pushes Mississippi up to the top. No doubt July 4th fireworks will be replaced with witch burnings. They should start with Sarah Huckabeetch
