The only just course of action is for all police involved to be executed.

[-] NuraShiny@hexbear.net 36 points 2 years ago

And then the families of those prisoners will get to bury them in a random location

[-] Hello_Kitty_enjoyer@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

and also the police not involved

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 45 points 2 years ago

is this the same one as a week or two ago, or another one agony-deep

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 43 points 2 years ago

Nope, no one is talking about this, first I heard too. But yeah man tell me about China.

[-] somename@hexbear.net 41 points 2 years ago

This isn't an old, forgotten, thing too. They're hiding deaths out there, currently.

I remember from indigenous residential school unmarked grave discourse that state institutions having unmarked graves is actually perfectly normal and good, so I think we're in the clear here

Well we don't have all the facts alright, plenty of stories of unmarked graves have had positive endings! I'll hold my judgement, I'm sure police had a perfectly good reason for this:

The revelation began with Dexter Wade's death in March 2023, in which a police officer fatally hit him. Shockingly, his family was not informed of his death, and he was buried without their knowledge.

This is such an insane story. I saw this on TikTok like 3 days ago I think, and I have yet to see anyone else talking about it.

[-] Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago

Holy shit what? That's evil right there

[-] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 41 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

One of the bodies that they claimed could not be identified literally had his state ID in his pocket, in the grave when they exhumed him.

[-] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago

That's the lack of care they're showing to the dead, now imagine the lack of care for the living inside the prison.

[-] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago

its actually over 670 bodies just they didnt keep track of them until like 2014 or something fucking wild

[-] Hohsia@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago

Of course not, this isn’t nearly as important as the nth performative trump trial

Are you forgetting that it’s an election year and democracy is on the ballot?

Demented ass country

jesus christ. i had heard about the Dexter Wade story and that he had been buried in what i assumed was some mass grave / potter's field type of situation, but i had no idea it was or even could get more fucked up than that.

Reed describes the grim scene at the burial site, where buzzards flew overhead. The bodies were placed in shadowed graves without embalming, leading to a disturbing stench that attracted scavengers. He emphasizes the inhumanity of such treatment and calls for a more dignified handling of the deceased.

like apparently this was not even the typical dystopian and depressing kind of pauper's burial field, but rather the state's half-assed dump site for inconvenient bodies appearing in-around the carceral apparatus. as shitty as this country and the internal colonies are, i really don't see how somebody doesn't end up locked up over this, as a scapegoat at the very least.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
