A news story, made a bit of a noise at the time, not much since, no evident historical impact, one news report is sole source, several uncited opinions in there as well, article is unambiguously biased towards the view that the police were in the wrong, but there is no evidence of sufficient interest or sufficient sources to fix this or the uncited facts.

  • Delete The story is too flammable to stand on such flimsy sourcing and POV, as JzG points out. YechielMan 01:29, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

    • Given the abudnance of sources, I'm inclined to suggest ... keep, trim down to the article to just the first sentence, copy all of these sources into an "External links" section done, and wait until someone re-expands the articles using the sources. -- Black Falcon (Talk) 19:52, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep, "a story is too inflammatory" is a reason why it should appear on Wiki, though of course obviously extreme care should be taken to follow NPOV. Sherurcij (Speaker for the Dead) 19:59, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Looks like there are sufficient sources. --JJay 00:58, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
