"After Darren Rainey was murdered I wrote the Miami-Dade Police Department {MDPD} and Miami-Dade Medical Examiner’s Office several letters telling them to please secure the footage from the mounted security camera in wing J1 of the Dade C.I. TCU that pointed toward the officer station on the night Rainey was killed.
The reason why I told these two agencies to save this video footage was because it would show the frantic actions of the officers in the officers’ station after Ofc. Thompson found Rainey dead in the shower, left him dead in the shower on the floor and went to the officers’ station and told his fellow officers Rainey was dead.
I told these agencies that Ofc. Thompson was the officer who found Rainey dead on the shower floor, that he left Rainey dead on the shower floor and went to the officers’ station and told his fellow officer that Rainey was dead. That for the next approximately eight minutes the officers’ actions were frantic as they obviously discussed Rainey dead in the shower. That when they were done discussing the foregoing, Ofc. Clarke went to the shower and acted like he just found him dead. Also, I told these agencies in twenty-twelve and twenty-thirteen that several days after Rainey was killed, when discussing Rainey’s death with Ofc.s Clarke and Thompson, they told me to say Ofc. Clarke found Rainey dead if anybody asked. Finally I told these agencies that these Ofc.s were going to say Ofc. Clarke found Rainey dead, but that was a lie. As you can see, these agencies knew from the beginning that it was important to secure the footage from the mounted security camera in wing J1 that pointed toward the officers’ station on the night Rainey was killed. However, as it presently looks this camera footage wasn’t secured.
Why do you think these agencies wouldn’t secure the camera footage? I believe they didn’t do the foregoing because it was more evidence to show foul play with Rainey’s murder.
Do you believe the police sometimes don’t conduct as thorough investigations into some cases as they do others? I do. Do you believe the police would conduct as thorough an investigation into a man in prison being killed as they would a man in society being killed? I don’t. Do you believe the police would conduct as thorough investigation into a mentally unstable man being killed as they would a mentally stable man being killed? I don’t. Do you believe the police would conduct as thorough investigation into an African American being killed as a Caucasian? I don’t. I believe the majority of police in America are very good people that are very good at their work. However police officers are humans and a lot of them are bias, prejudicial and/or racist. It is sad, but this is the truth. Why didn’t the Miami-Dade Police Department secure the footage from the camera mentioned herein? I believe they didn’t secure this camera footage for the same reason they refused to investigate this case until the Miami Herald newspaper in May 2014 started writing articles on the police failing to investigate this case. Why? Because to the Miami-Dade Police Department detective assigned to the Rainey case, Darren Rainey’s life didn’t matter. Why didn’t his life matter? Because Darren Rainey was a poor, black, mentally disabled, Muslim prisoner. When a detective cares about the outcome of a case, they thoroughly investigate it. When they don’t care, they do just enough to say they investigated it.
The Darren Rainey case is another case that will go down in history as evidence showing that Black Lives Don’t Matter In Dade County, Florida And America. This is how it’ll be unless we all join together in unity, peace and love, and do all that we can to show Black Lives Matter In Dade County, Florida. All of our efforts must be in unity, peace and love. What do you think? Do you believe Black Lives Matter? We do. Do you believe all lives matter? We do. We care about what you have to say. You matter, and you can make a difference.
