Haha, we had this in Australia for a while. People got upset about "Aboriginal deaths in custody", and the death of an Aborigine while in police custody would result in big problems and another fucking media circus.
So, all of a sudden, every Aborigine with nothing to live for would get arrested and decide "well fuck it, I'm gonna hang myself".
Eventually it went out of fashion.

I reserve judgment until a autopsy is done and is officially announce. I however do not agree with the way the arrest happened, it should not have been handled the way it was.

Agreed. Their training needs to promote more than just escalation tactics.

This is way to serious of a case to jump to conclusions on either side. Hopefully we find out what happened. Still feel bad for the people involved.
