Parents Supporting Their LGBT Kids During Pride Month.

A black British woman named Sarah Reed was found unresponsive in her cell (north London - HM Prison Holloway) last month and died shortly after prison staff performed CPR. Police told her family that she had strangled herself while on her bed.

Prior to being imprisoned, Reed was the victim of police brutality when she was violently dragged by her hair and punched multiple times by a former Police Constable James Kiddie in November 2012. This horrific scene was caught on CCTV camera and resulted in the dismissal of PC Kiddie who was only slapped with 150 hours of community service and a fine. Kiddie was previously investigated by the police watchdog, the Independent Police Complaints Commission, for deploying tear gas during protests in Oxford Street in January 2011.

Sarah reed had been suffering from severe mental health issues ever since the loss of her newborn baby in 2003, and had recently been detained under section 3 of the mental health act. Family have said that Reed was a victim of an attempted rape in Maudsley (psychiatric hospital in south London) and when she fought off her attacker, injuring him, staff called police. Only Sarah reed was arrested. During her stay in prison, family have said she was denied medical attention. They said they also weren’t allowed to see her body during a visit to the prison (after her death) and believe this arrest was in retaliation to Sarah challenging the racist and violent officer who attacked her several years ago.

This is a case of negligence, the disregard of mental health issues, institutional racism and sexual violence. The family just wants the truth and ultimately justice, everyone needs to know what happened.

....so it’s okay for cops to do this??

and y’all WONDER why people are rioting. because it’s “ok” for officers to do this. they were pretty peaceful until the police acted maliciously. they were throwing some things (at cars, the cops weren’t in danger), but does that give officers the right to run them over? the answer should be NO. if your answer was yes, your values are pathetic. you are exactly what is wrong with this country. it is saddening how blind, complacent, and manipulated you are.
