When Shall the Bough Break

About the book:

The line drawn between injustice and justice has created several challenges for the powerful, within their small circle of political titans. They tried to ignore the laws and the fate of three police officers, who killed Linwood Raymond Lambert, Jr., while he was in their custody, outside of the local hospital, in Halifax South Boston, Virginia. The political elites kept passing the responsibility around amongst themselves, hoping one of them would make the decisions, on whether to bring charges against the three officers, who assaulted Mr. Linwood Lambert, Jr., in front of the hospital doors. He was then placed back into the police cruiser, amidst broken glass, while he was bleeding profusely. Medical staff tried intervening but to no avail. He died lying slumped over in the back seat of the police cruiser, handcuffed and shackled. To add to the agony of all parties involved, which includes, the Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General, who was also dealing with their own personal scandals of racist Black face photos and sexual assault. It's no surprise to notice down in that rural part of southwestern, Virginia, Confederate flags are the norm-and racist politics and elected officials, use their privilege of power, to keep the old Southern ways of the Confederacy, while also being hypocrites.
