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

[-] NuraShiny@hexbear.net 36 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Hello_Kitty_enjoyer@hexbear.net 20 points 10 months ago

and also the police not involved

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 45 points 10 months ago

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

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 43 points 10 months ago

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

[-] somename@hexbear.net 41 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

Holy shit what? That's evil right there

[-] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 41 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months 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.
