Man Dies From Neck Injuries After Being Placed in Brutal Headlock by Police

By: Lynnel H. Bott, Your Black World

An Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center officer has been placed on administrative leave without pay following the death of an inmate last week. The county has declined to release the officer’s name.

According to investigators, Matthew Green, 58, of Columbia, South Carolina was arrested Aug. 23 by the Forest Acres Police department at approximately 11:18 p.m. on charges of public intoxication.

During the booking process, Green was put into a headlock by an unidentified officer in an attempt to restrain him, according to sheriff’s spokesman Deputy Curtis Wilson. Shortly after midnight Green was found in his cell unresponsive by detention officers and was transported to a local hospital Wednesday where he died.

A Surveillance video shows the unnamed officer patting down Green before placing him into the headlock that contributed to his death.

After Richland County Coroner, Gary Watts, determined Green died of blunt-force trauma to his neck, the Sheriff’s Department opened an investigation. The jail also is also launching its own inquiry into the incident. Once the sheriff’s investigation is concluded, the results will be sent to Dan Johnson, the 5th Circuit Solicitor, who will decide whether to prosecute.

In the age of fake presidents and a Gestapo Police State which caters to the rich and abuses the poor and working class. “Blacks” appear to be the main targets for all that is evil. Check the statistics and you will find the number of incidents where blacks are murdered by police increasing. Check the statistics and you will find that our unemployment rate and the many other US imposed negatives will create more anger, discouragement, depression, disillusionment, anguish, sadness etc. among blacks, and these problems will make us more susceptible to crime and criminal activities just because we are black and these scoundrels are making it much more difficult for us to survive.

Add the fact that government assistance is being taken apart and private industry is top-heavy white-oriented and you will see that there is nowhere to go but down, down, down. All in the age of Obama! Not that much of this wasn’t already occurring but in the age of Obama it is much easier for this very racist country of Anglo-elites and their henchmen to attack us in ways many (including some good whites) are unable to comprehend. Our minds are geared differently so while some of us can clearly see the detrimental actions installed by this hateful, vengeful, racist system others will not. In fact some will actually contribute to our continued suffering. Those like Obama, Thomas, Rice, Connerly,Powell, and Steele, etc., but worse still they are inadvertently and ignorantly helped by those who have no infamous names or government positions and who are just as vulnerable. (Many of us don’t realize that our Ancestors were brought here because of reasons other than being able to work hard. Figure out the other reasons and we may find a key to why we are treated so horribly).

I hope that someone is keeping a tally of the constant murders, and the who and why of these murders boldly occurring. I bet a yearly total would shock some disbelievers back to reality.(We should understand that some of us despise each other and if we have been conditioned so, imagine how much worse the thinking of others).
I also know of some blacks who keep spewing the same anti-black sentiments that the bigots and racists use. Their minds are twisted in such a way as to misunderstand the causes of our problems as they tend to blame each other for our problems and thereby give the real culprits a free ticket to bring down abstract terror upon us. The whole of our problems are not only psychological but the repeated efforts of these powerful racist antagonists and their ignorant cohorts.

When we ask ourselves why certain conditions, emotions, and cultural negatives of blacks are as they are the answers will always lead us back to the beginning and the constant fights we must face just to survive this futile “climate of variables” which is constantly attacking us and shoving us and holding us down. Look back to Africa and you will clearly see that their constant battles are due to dealing with the same enemies.They are not here therefore they are much more vulnerable to these powerful outside forces.

Where is our strength? We have no strength our enemies make sure of it!
