I remember some idiot in FLA suing to get photos of Dale Earnhardt released. For what reason I dont know. Luckily his family won that stupid case

are exactly what needs to be done.

Emmett Till's mother had the courage to have an open casket for his funeral, after he'd been beaten and mutilated for the "crime" of speaking to a white woman.

I won't put the photo here or even post a link, but a simple google search will turn it up. At the time, in late August, 1955, the picture of that child -- he was just turned 14 years old -- was published widely. His mother wanted the entire world to see exactly what was done to her child.

I also think that photographs of those killed by guns ought to be published more often. Most people don't understand the amount of damage that can be done by modern weapons. Perhaps if they saw it, they'd be more willing to agree to restrictions on gun ownership, although I don't put much faith in that ever happening.

huh?

The SLCPD Division of Criminal Investigation, Bureau of Crimes Against Persons
(“CAP”) was notified at 12:43 p.m. to report to the crime scene to begin a homicide
investigation. When they received notification, SLCPD CAP detectives were investigating an
armed, masked hostage situation in the hospice wing at St. Anthony’s Medical Center in the
south part of St. Louis County, nearly 37 minutes from Canfield Drive. They arrived at Canfield
Drive at approximately 1:30 p.m. During that time frame, between about 12:45 p.m. and 1:17
p.m., SLCPD reported gunfire in the area, putting both civilians and officers in danger. As a
result, canine officers and additional patrol officers responded to assist with crowd control.
SLCPD expanded the perimeter of the crime scene to move the crowd away from Brown’s body
in an effort to preserve the crime scene for processing.
Upon their arrival, SLCPD detectives from the Bureau of Criminal Identification Crime
Scene Unit erected orange privacy screens around Brown’s body, and CAP detectives alerted the
8
St. Louis County Medical Examiner (“SCLME”) to respond to the scene. To further protect the
integrity of the crime scene, and in accordance with common police practice, SLCPD personnel
did not permit family members and concerned neighbors into the crime scene (with one brief
exception). Also in accordance with common police practice, crime scene detectives processed
the crime scene with Brown’s body present. According to SLCPD CAP detectives, they have
one opportunity to thoroughly investigate a crime scene before it is forever changed upon the
removal of the decedent’s body. Processing a homicide scene with the decedent’s body present
allows detectives, for example, to accurately measure distances, precisely document body
position, and note injury and other markings relative to other aspects of the crime scene that
photographs may not capture.
In this case, crime scene detectives had to stop processing the scene as a result of two
more reports of what sounded like automatic weapons gunfire in the area at 1:55 p.m. and 2:11
p.m., as well as some individuals in the crowd encroaching on the crime scene and chanting,
“Kill the Police,” as documented by cell phone video. At each of those times, having exhausted
their existing resources, SLCPD personnel called emergency codes for additional patrol officers
from throughout St. Louis County in increments of twenty-five. Livery drivers sent to transport
Brown’s body upon completion of processing arrived at 2:20 p.m. Their customary practice is to
wait on scene until the body is ready for transport. However, an SLCPD sergeant briefly stopped
them from getting out of their vehicle until the gunfire abated and it was safe for them to do so.
The SLCME medicolegal investigator arrived at 2:30 p.m. and began conducting his
investigation when it was reasonably safe to do so. Detectives were at the crime scene for
approximately five and a half hours, and throughout that time, SLCPD personnel continued to
seek additional assistance, calling in the Highway Safety Unit at 2:38 p.m. and the Tactical
Operations Unit at 2:44 p.m. Witnesses and detectives described the scene as volatile, causing
concern for both their personal safety and the integrity of the crime scene. Crime scene
detectives and the SLCME medicolegal investigator completed the processing of Brown’s body
at approximately 4:00 p.m, at which time Brown’s body was transported to the Office of the
SLCME.
