Deaths and Injuries in Police Custody

I don't know who here follows what is going on in the news, but it sure seems to me like more and more unarmed people are dying in encounters with police or in police custody. It seems like almost every day there is a new story and a new name.

What I am also seeing is an increasingly strong defensive reaction on the subject from those related to police and an increasing despair in those who want this body count to stop getting higher. Increased tension and increased despair seem like not the best additions to the recipe, but it seems important to be aware of what's going on.
