I'm strong. And a giant penguin. Please don't eat me. No, really. Don't try.

the part about dexter wade is the key here. the system, or lack of one, was maintained like this to enable the officials to do what they tried to do with dexter wade: cover up the wrongful deaths of black people by just expeditiously disposing of the corpses without leaving any way for people to investigate poo poo. let 'em be missing persons forever. the only reason hinds county and jackson pd are changing their rules are because this time they got caught and are being sued and can't bury the suit in a similarly unmarked pauper's grave due to social media attention. there's a lot of cops all over the country who benefit from being able to conveniently lose people's dead bodies
