“Female Eric Garner”: She Suffocated and Died In Police Custody (Family Of 18-Year-Old Asthmatic Black Girl Who Died In Jail Following “Violent” Arrest Calls For Investigation)

The family of an Alabama teen who died in jail following an arrest for disorderly conduct in November is now calling for an investigation into what happened. Family members of 18-year-old Sheneque Proctor reportedly believe that an asthma attack prompted by a “violent” police arrest triggered her yet-to-be-explained death.


A new petition has been circulating in response to a young woman who is now being called the “female Eric Garner.” The petition is demanding that the federal and state governments investigate the death of Sheneque Proctor. The 18 year old young woman died in police custody at Bessemer City Jail after she was arrested on November 1st.

According to Proctor’s relatives, she was at a hotel attending a party with friends when police arrested her for disorderly conduct.

Proctor is reported to have complained to the police that she had problems with asthma but her words allegedly fell on deaf ears. The next morning, she was found lifeless in her jail cell.

Bessemer City Attorney Shan Paden commented, “I know the case. I know we had a death in the jail. Erring on a conservative side, not to protect the city but to protect the rights of an 18-year-old, the city of Bessemer will not disclose any information.”

According to Proctors family, she suffered from asthma and the police were violent with her during her arrest.

Proctor’s family is asking that people sign the petition so that they can get some answers about their beloved daughter.

Justice Department Finds MAJOR Flaws With Cleveland PD


"The Cleveland Division of Police engages in a pattern of excessive use of force, is badly trained in the use of firearms and is a danger to the people it serves, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder declared Thursday, bringing to a close a 20-month investigation prompted by the shooting deaths of two black residents. The findings come a month after a Cleveland policeman shot dead a 12-year-old black boy playing with a toy gun and at a time of national outrage over police tactics after a spate of shootings of unarmed black civilians by police officers across the nation.

“Since March of 2013, the Justice Department has closely examined nearly 600 use of force incidents,” Holder said. "The Department of Justice and the City of Cleveland have come together to set in motion a process that will remedy these issues.”

As a result of the findings, Mayor Frank Jackson signed a statement of principles that will lead to a consent decree calling for new equipment and training for Cleveland police. The agreement between the city and the U.S. Department of Justice assigns no guilt, but lays out a set of tasks to complete and goals to attain that “will result in more effective and constitutional policing,” Holder said."* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.
