Assisted suicide?

[Cyberman]

The worst experience with police I've ever come across in my own sort of social circle happened during the first of the Poll Tax marches in London, which ended up in a full scale riot (our little group, sensing the mood had changed, had left the march prior to the riot and become tourists by that point. Long story). Anyway, we found out later that someone of our acquaintance had been part of a group on the sidelines and had almost been invited into some genuine police brutality; apparently she had been taunting the police, they claimed, which would have been a damn good trick since she is almost completely deaf-mute. It's nightmare stuff to think what might have happened if the police had been the same ones in those articles - or the ones in this video 'apparently' (just to cover my own back) gunning down a deaf woodcarver in Seattle:
