Prosecutors have declined to pursue criminal charges over his death in police custody.Community members and family wear shirts that read"Nana Ayudame or Nana, help me" in Spanish at a vigil for Carlos Ingram-Lopez on June 25 in Tucson, Ariz.

But an independent autopsy commissioned by Ingram-Lopez's family asserted that the cocaine wasn't enough to explain the death. That report, by forensic pathologist Dr. Phillip Keen, added that the circumstances were"consistent with an asphyxia event ." Officers had been called by Ingram-Lopez's grandmother, who told a 911 operator that she wanted help getting him out of her home because her grandson was"crazy" and on drugs and was not wearing any clothes.

"Insufficient training, a lack of Spanish-speaking 911 dispatchers and the use of spit socks to protect officers from COVID-19 were some of the 32 factors that contributed to the in-custody deaths,""In Ingram-Lopez's case, the dispatcher didn't speak Spanish and didn't relay details from his grandmother about his drug ingestion," APM said.

0x00string System is broken

this is why it's not just 'fuck the police'; it's fuck the prosecutors too. they're alllllllll in on it

It's difficult for prosecutors to charge police officers, because they'd basically be prosecuting colleagues they tend to run into a lot at the local court house. The system needs to account for that because it's basically a conflict of intersst.

maybe they have a different meaning than I do for 'unjustifiable'

And ppl wonder why there’s protests

The police probably gave him the cocaine.

So basically even when the failure and violence is recognized there is still no accountability?

Putin himself could not have been as deadly as these officers.

That is truly Disgusting and the Tucson police should be ashamed of themselves - they are a disgrace and should all be fired 😡🤬BlackLivesMatter VoteBlue2020 BidenHarris2020

Time for the U.S. D.O.J. to step in and launch an investigation.
