The Midtown Miscreant writes a stellar post on the case of Sophia Salva.
He asks simple but provocative questions that bring to light the disparity central to the whole sorry situation. Overall his take on the subject is one of the most balanced insights into the story that I've read in both the mainstream media and the blogosphere. Even better, he takes an even handed approach without being boring or coming off morally superior!!! It's a feat that's rarely accomplished and definitely worth a read.
What about Sofia Salva, does she deserve part of the blame in all of this? You bet she does. She should have gone straight to the hospital, she should have called an ambulance from her home or from the liquor store she stopped at. Sophia Salva is not an innocent victim in all of this. In my opinion she is as culpable in the death of her unborn child as the 2 cops and the jail staff. Salva is not without blame.
ReplyDeleteIt's Funkhousers Fault.
ReplyDeleteIt's not about race, but it is about race.
ReplyDeleteIn other words, I'm going to write this fancy post and then just throw out the race card....
i agree with the paintman she is 80 % of fault she had plenty of chances to call for an ambulance
ReplyDeleteSimply, the case is not so 'black and white' as some want us to believe.
ReplyDeletepaintman was quoting MM's post. which was a good one if you can read past a 4th grade level.
ReplyDeleteGive me a break. Are we really going to sit here and excuse the cops and blame Salva. Of course she should have been taking care of herself better, but who are you to speak of anything that didn't happen on camera. What happened on camera was the traffic stop and those idiots didn't follow simple procedure. They were the scum of the KCPD
