High School Football Star Dies

This morning, I was doing my morning perusal of the Internet to get myself caught up on the news as I don't have much time to watch it once I get home in the evenings. Upon checking my links of black websites, I finally stumbled onto Black Report. Once there, I clicked on a link which took me to Black Voices. There's an article about a young man, Billy Joe Johnson, who recently died. Billy Joe Johnson was a high school football star in Mississippi - George County High School. Here is how the article went:

Billy Joe was stopped by police for "running through a stop sign and a red light". The officer approached his car, got his license, and returned to his patrol car. As he was running his license through the system, he heard a gunshot and saw Billy Joe fall to the ground with a shotgun on top of him. Supposedly, he shot himself in the head. Police are saying it was suicide. His family, friends, AND the NAACP are saying it WASN'T. Autopsies are currently being conducted - the one being conducted by the state of Mississippi and one being conducted separately at the request of the family via the NAACP.

I am posting this to make you aware of what may be going on down in Mississippi - another case of a police coverup. The following links provide the short details as provided by Black Voices. I will do more research on this and will update everyone as soon as I get a chance.
