Can we get stories compiled on all of these police killings going on in 2012? It seems like the police in this country really don't care and are blatantly murdering its citizens?

Chavis Carter Shooting Death While Handcuffed To Be Investigated By FBI
The FBI said Thursday it will join the police investigation into the death of Chavis Carter, the 21-year-old man shot in the head while handcuffed in the back of a police car in Jonesboro, Ark.
The investigation comes amid lingering questions over who pulled the trigger. Police said he committed suicide with a gun officers failed to find when they searched him. His family members said they believe he was killed by police who are attempting to cover it up.
Carter suffered a single, fatal gunshot wound to the head. He was detained on Saturday night following a traffic stop in Jonesboro, about 2 1/2 hours north of Little Rock, after officers said they found marijuana and empty baggies. Officers searched him twice, handcuffed him and placed him in the back of a police car, police said. Not long after, police said, he was found slumped over, with his head in his lap and a gunshot wound to the head.
Weve been asked to get involved, Kim Brunell, a spokeswoman for the FBIs Little Rock office, told The Huffington Post on Thursday. The bureau's ballistics experts will join the probe, she said.
Police said Carter retrieved a gun that hed concealed, raised it to his head and pulled the trigger. A clear case of suicide, they said. The handcuffs, they said, were double locked.
Any given officer has missed something on a search, you know, be it drugs, be it knives, be it razor blades," Sgt. Lyle Waterworth of the Jonesboro police told a local news station. "This instance, it happened to be a gun."
Several calls to the Jonesboro Police Department were not returned. But Chief Michale Yates told Jane Velez Mitchell on HLN that the death is "definitely bizarre and defies logic at first glance."
