Dexter
Wade
and
his
family
have
already
been
wildly
disrespected
by
the
Jackson
Police
Department
and
local
Mississippi
officials
but
this
latest
update
is
enough
to
make
a
person
ask
for
5
minutes
in
the
ring.
BOSSIP
has
reported
extensively
about
the
case
but
for
those
who
are
unaware,
Dexter
Wade
was
killed
by
an
off-duty
police
officer
while
crossing
the
highway
in
Jackson,
Mississippi.
Despite
giving
little
to
no
effort
to
contact
his
next
of
kin,
the
department
had
Wade
buried
in
some
random
field
where
unidentified
persons
are
unceremoniously
laid
to
rest.
His
mother
searched
for
him
for
months
until
she
finally
learned
of
her
son’s
demise.

According
to
NBC
News,
all
those
hours,
days,
and
weeks
of
suffering
led
Bettersten
Wade,
Dexter’s
mother,
to
an
agreement
with
Hinds
County
officials
to
exhume
her
son’s
remains
so
that
he
could
have
a
funeral
and
a
proper,
respectful
burial.
Ms.
Wade
agreed
to
meet
at
a
pauper’s
field
at
the
county
penal
farm
on
Monday,
Nov.
13
at
11:30
am
to
witness
the
exhumation.
However,
when
she
arrived
at
the
penal
farm,
she
discovered
that
Dexter’s
remains
had
already
been
removed
by
early-arriving
Public
Works
employees.
His
body
had
been
packaged
and
placed
in
the
back
of
a
Chevy
Suburban.
The
insults
keep
on
a-comin’.
“It
makes
me
feel
like
I
don’t
exist,”
she
said.
“It
doesn’t
matter
that
I’m
his
mother.
It
didn’t
matter
to
them.
They
act
like
that’s
their
child
and
they’re
really
the
one
who
decides
what
happens
to
him.
I
didn’t
have
any
rights
or
say.”
With
so
much
suspicion
around
this
case
including
the
cause
of
death,
the
“miscommunication”
between
the
city
and
the
family,
and
the
shady
subsequent
burial,
it’s
hard
to
look
at
this
latest
incident
with
anything
short
of
a
raised
eyebrow.
How
could
this
second
“miscommunication”
have
possibly
happened?
David
Archie,
a
member
of
the
county
Board
of
Supervisors,
said
he
asked
the
county
Public
Works
Department
for
an
explanation
and
was
told
there
had
been
a
“miscommunication”
about
when
it
was
expected
to
exhume
the
body.
“So
they
came
early
and
they
did
what
they
did,”
Archie
said.
The
sequel
is
even
worse
than
the
original.
Throw
this
whole
damn
county
in
the
trash
dumpster.
