A black teenager at a “residential treatment center” died while several guards were sitting on him. You might think they were doing something wrong, but the official report explains that he died of cardiac arrest (a redundancy) “during an excited state while being subdued,” and thus accidentally.

I am not making this up: “The coroner’s office wouldn’t release the report until it first received approval from the District Attorney’s Office and then got a $26 fee from the family.”
