So down my way it seems some black guy has been killed while in police custody at one of the police stations nearby.

Already seen multiple gruops made, with half of them "Up for dishing the justice back to the police!" or "having a riot in his honor!"

Going to be a fun few days to see how this pans out i guess...

Some more idiots jailed on 4 year sentences for incitement then...

Time for our justice system to prove it isn't just paying lip-service to a sensationalist, reactionary media and charge these people in exactly the same way as the previous people they put away for four years.

Somehow I don't see that happening.

Isn't there a statistic, something like 300 people have died in police custody without a single charge against the police?

It's a dangerous stat though; all those deaths were investigated. It's not improbable that none of those were the fault of any officer.

How do you figure that one? People die under the 'care' of the police and it's unlikely they could have had anything to do with it?

Murder is a pretty serious charge, you should have some evidence to support your claim before you go mouthing off.

I said it's not improbable that any officer was at fault. It's also not improbable that an officer could have had something to do with any of them. Do you want each and every one reinvestigated? What happens if there is still no charge?

No, I was just struck by your willingness to dismiss the possibility of wrong-doing.

I'm not, I do however find it funny that when the police are found innocent that people cry foul play and cover-up's every time.

Who said that? I just think it's quite startling how many people die in police custody, especially young black men, yet nobody is ever held to account.

It is amazing how some people feel about the police. With all the rules and controls over them people still seem to think they are always corrupt. If the police are hamstrung any more they might as well not bother walking the streets.
