An extremely disturbing video obtained by The Toronto Star shows Maplehurst jail guards carrying out violent, hours-long retribution against the defenseless inmates.

Here’s my idea: Buy 2 form fitting long sleeve shirts with some stretch. Buy a length of fabric. Cut the fabric into strips and roll them up like a fruit roll up. Sew your fabric rolls to one shirt making horizontal or vertical lines across. Wear the second shirt over the shirt with strips. Wear thick baggy clothes over the whole ensemble.

Finally, get shot by a taser.

A Dallas man says reality show “The First 48” edited the episode to suggest he’d become a police informant, resulting in death threats.

Edgar Barrientos-Quintana spent 16 years behind bars wrongly convicted for a shooting featured on “The First 48.” The Minnesota attorney general’s office effectively alleged that the show shaped the case instead of the case shaping the show.

A 16-year old boy was shot. 280 workers were arrested. He was assassinated a few days later after speaking to the striking workers. The sanitation workers were mostly black. They worked for starvation wages under plantation like conditions, generally under racist white bosses. Workers could be fired for being one minute late or for talking back, and they got no breaks.
