An End To Black Deaths In Custody?


I happened to be watching the news this evening and I saw a large group of indigenous Australians marching down the road carrying a banner that read "Stop Black Deaths in Custody".

The thought occurred to me that probably the simplest and by far the most effective way of achieving this very noble goal would be to not get incarcerated in the first place.

Am I oversimplifying this or is everybody else missing the point?

  1. Isn't it amusing how many "good boys" end up in custody.

    Here's a tip: Don't steal the car, and chances are you won't be chased in it.

  2. And the policemen who were in the car behind you when you piledrive into the tree/house/pedestrians etc won't have to go through a lifetime of being screwed in the head after seeing you die.
