I didn't see this posted yet.
Outrageous. This was murder along with conspiracy to commit murder.
Last week the Milwaukee County medical examiner announced that Thomas death was due to profound dehydration, according to the Journal Sentinel. By labeling the death a homicide, the medical examiner indicated that it was caused by the actions of another person, although that judgment does not necessarily mean that anyone will be criminally prosecuted in the case.
The Milwaukee County Jail is run by Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr., an outspoken Trump supporter and critic of the Black Lives Matter movement. Clarke, who is technically a Democrat, has become popular in conservative circles in recent years for his specific criticism of President Barack Obama and more general critiques of liberalism. A recent disclosure form revealed that Clarke took in more than $150,000 in speaking fees, travel reimbursements and gifts in 2015.
Inmates told the Journal Sentinel that the water in Thomas cell had been shut off for six days, and one inmate allegedly said to a guard, If something happens to that man, its your fault.

More than one head needs to roll on this, and I hope Clarke's is one of 'em.
