Deaths in custody update

There have been three in the last week. Two of the people to have died at the police's hands were men in their twenties, not middle-aged alcoholic paper vendors, so no pretending they were just going to die somehow anyway, y'know, like. There was also this:

Armed police stopped two young girls aged 15 and nine in Birmingham last week.



The police claimed the eldest of the sisters fitted the description of an armed robber.

Two arms, two legs and a head... no gun though, but anyone could have made that mistake...

In fact she was on her way to collect her GCSE results from her nearby school.



Their mother, a youth worker, said, “This is the sort of thing which starts riots."

Indeed. It's amazing, isn't it? Hundreds of deaths - still no convictions.
