Four years of captivity
Post 93190 by Joe in Australia deleted for the following reason: this is more of the same. Please do not post here about I/P issues unless there's something happening that is of interest to the larger community that you can talk about without resorting to the same old GRAR. MetaTalk is your option. Thank you. -- jessamyn

Don't taze my Granny!
Post 93168 by Talez deleted for the following reason: Look, it's awful that that happened but what is the point of posting this? Metafilter is not a police watchdog site, if there's going to be a post about something shitty an officer/dept. did it needs to be more substantial than "they did a bad thing". -- cortex

Post 93008 by orthogonality deleted for the following reason: Not bothering to frame a fifty-year-old pullquote and article about a great big awful and still-really-troublesome civil rights issue as being a fifty-year-old article is pointlessly bucking for bad feelings.

Post 92920 by Substrata deleted for the following reason: This does not meet the bar we've set for I/P posts. The posts tend to go badly here and a single link even to a decent article is pretty much not going to fly. I am sorry.
