Only in a nation of brain-dead sheep could police departments be getting away with such nonsense. Remember the forced anal probes that recently happened in New Mexico in an attempt to find non-existent drugs? You have to read this to believe it. Anyone got a borrow on The Onion? Permanent short.
From Salon:
A strange phenomenon has been occurring in police custody around the U.S., which seems to defy both the laws of physics and the limits of human physiology. Young people of color, handcuffed with their hands bound behind their backs, are able to shoot themselves in the head. For the critical observer, belief is beggared.
A Durham teen [17-year-old Jesus Huerta] died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, Durham Police Chief Jose Lopez said…
“I know that it is hard for people not in law enforcement to understand how someone could be capable of shooting themselves while handcuffed behind the back,” Lopez said. “While incidents like this are not common, they unfortunately have happened in other jurisdictions in the past.”
Yep, I guess you need to be in law enforcement to understand the latest changes to the laws of physics.

I would say that it is possible to manipulate a pistol and aim it upwards, using your thumb to pull the trigger, with your hands cuffed behind your back.
You would have to be standing and then have to lean your head as far back as possible to do it. If the entry wound was anywhere else than the extreme rear of the head and did come from the direction of the lower back area then I would say that it is impossible…
Should be: “did not come”
And the original Jesus hung himself on the cross! Crucify these new centurions, instead!!
