No, this isn’t 1960. 2008-2023 is the date range. Only records were kept for people buried after 2016.

One of the bodies is a man who was hit by an off-duty officer. The PD said they could not identify him. His exhumed body had his wallet in his pocket with a state issued ID and an information card with his home phone number on it and current address. They charged his mother $250 to reclaim his body for a proper burial. That same woman had her brother killed by the same police department when they brutally beat him to death on the side of the road. A pig went to prison for it.

Death to Amerikkka. Fuck this demon cracker nation.

215 [asterisk]

An investigative report by NBC News on December 18 listed a roster of 215 such burials in the pauper’s field since 2016 that was provided by the coroner’s office under a public records request. It was necessary to use 2016 as the cutoff year due to there being no records of the burials before then.

My god - how many more 100s of people did they do that to?

I’m willing to bet they started it with runaway slaves.

The origins of police departments in Amerikkka are rooted in catching and returning escaped slaves. The Jackson Police Department was founded in 1822. I’m just saying.

In a just and sane society this would result in the execution of these serial killers with badges. What a disgusting shame

The sheer callousness of it all…I can at least comprehend the sadistic pleasure cops get from brutalizing people, but this kind of thing demonstrates how they see the general populace as literal trash to be unceremoniously disposed of
