Re: No place but Virginia
I'm not buying it. A contortionist in handcuffs offs herself with a magically appearing revolver?
- depending on the woman's build, this (shooting herself while rear cuffed) MIGHT be possible (if she's a tall, skinny gymnast) but not likely
- where'd the revolver come from? only relics like us carry revolvers. if it was a cop's backup, wouldn't it be ON him?
put the above two together, and yeah, smells like a murder and coverup. at minimum, gross negligence.

Re: No place but Virginia
Not saying that she really did pull the trigger, but it's certainly possible. philip is incorrect in stating she was in the back of a police car (unless he has some other source?) She was passenger side outside of the vehicle, probably near rear tire or bumper, when the officer who had cuffed her ran to help the other officer with the combative driver. How were the wrists turned while handcuffed? Would be very easy to shoot self in the face if she was handcuffed with inside of wrists facing each other instead of outside of wrists turned in. If it's a snub nose revolver, it was still be fairly easy even if the wrists were turned properly, one would use the thumb on the trigger instead. I think gross negligence is most likely scenario. But one can't deny it does sound fishy :)

Re: No place but Virginia
Sorry if I was wrong about victims location.
And body cams were knocked off druring struggle with boyfriend and turned off.

4 month investigation finds they cannot tell who is in blackface. Even though Governor previously said it was him, then denied it.

Re: No place but Virginia
No need to apologize :) It just changes the possibility of her shooting herself in a big way

Re: No place but Virginia
Virginia was once a veritably nice Southern State, {sigh}?
For that matter, Atlanta was once a nice, but somewhat large, Southern city. I'm glad I'm elderly, y'all can have, and deal with, it! Bless y'all's hearts!
