I'm jealous of you guys that this is a scandal there.
We Americans would just be like "She's still alive!? Cop must have gotten laid that morning or something to be in such an un-murdery mood."
We will get there don't you worry.
The UK police don't have the funding to attrace the uterly ruthless. It isn't reall fair.
Reminds me of Elijah McClain, he had autism. He was killed by police in Colorado via asphyxiation and ketemine. Not ketemine he had taken, no, they injected it to sedate him. I'll bet you can guess his skin color too.
Nah Americans are crying about it and terrified it's going to happen here. They're cool with black people getting brutalized but now they're worried their homophobia (not saying the girl was homophobic) is going to get them beat up. Kind of poetic.
