So much for arms length, independent investigation too, even the Coroner assigned to examine this case is an ex-cop.

According to a report that was on the CBC earlier, on average, 18 people a year, die while in police custody in BC. Unlike concern about this Province's image as a result of a possible death of a prospective tourist, arriving at the airport, there's never been much public outcry here about the alarming statistics regarding the usual ongoing casualties.

Perhaps because there are few pictures and the public seems to be able to dismiss those victims as just the usual human flotsom....just some drunken Indian, an annoying loonie street person, another junkie or crackhead....not worth much bother, even in death.
