  • Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim released a video late Sunday announcing the suspensions of two officers in connection to their roles investigating the deaths of college student Lauren Smith-Fields and 53-year-old Brenda Lee Rawls.
    The two women died on the same day and in the same police precinct. The Bridgeport mayor said the two detectives are facing discipline for their “lack of sensitivity to the public and their failure to follow police procedure in the handling of these two matters."
    Ganim also announced that he would work with the police chief to make changes to the police department's policies and practices when it comes to notifying family members of a death after Smith-Fields' family said they weren't even contacted on the day she died.

The evidence is useless in a court of law. Shame on those detectives and any officers involved.

      Do you honestly think he wasn't questioned? What if it turns out that her brother brought her the drugs when he stopped by that night? They were outside for 30 minutes while her date was there. She told her date that her brother was stopping by, but she didn't tell her brother she had a date there. Her date called 911 and performed cpr.

When a young black girl invites a much older man to her house she isn't looking for love. Lauren was not the Miss Goodie Two Shoes her mom and the attorney are saying she is.

    So you telling me that they were suspended for how long? If they are getting paid that's called a vacation. They actually should have their badges taken from them. IA needs to look back at every case these two were assigned that involved blk people. Because from what I getting they really didn't give a dam about these two blk queen's. The only reason the mayor stepped in was because of all of the press and fire it's getting on line. Let a wht girl come up died in her apartment with a blk man calling it in , dud would've been locked up and found guilty before he had a trial

    1st don't do drugs. 2nd its not an accidental overdose when you do drugs what do you think is going to happen.

      They were date grape drugs. A woman doesn’t voluntarily do date grape drugs…they are slipped into your drink or food. You racists are having a field day with your ignorance and stupidity

    I hope the family rejected any apology given. Ppl need to stop apologizing and just start doing right by ppl. It's the only thing we ought to accept!!

    If the case has anything to do with prejudice and/or racism, It's crazy that the detectives would put their job, career, & possibly their freedom on the line for a stranger, or someone they may know, all because of skin color ? ! Mann... People are evil ! If it's that serious, no one who's prejudice, racist, homophobic, etc. Should be working for, with, or around the people they don't like and/or hate . Open up your own business & stay home or work from home etc. As long as you're away from people, that'll be better . Y'all gotta stop with that foolishness ! It's stupid, dumb, & evil !

      Yeah because no white girls die every day from a fentanyl overdose and it doesn’t make the news , please stop with this “ because I’m black “ BS . The race card has been overplayed. I believe the only reason it’s on the news is because they are black, and guess what race the people involved will end up being???? Yea put that in your pipe and smoke it .
