That comment assumes every grave was a prisoner, yet the article outlines one case where the man was found dead in a hotel room and one case where the man was murdered.
I get the idea of a potter's field, but aside from all the other issues here, why was the next of kin not notified for the identifiable bodies? OK, the one that got run over by a police cruiser, I get that one "slipping" by, but the others? Maybe the police didn't want the hassle of investigating the murder of a citizen they didn't give a shit about?
Is the DOJ going to drop the hammer on this or what?
