There is a very informative article in Wikipedia A true story about a boxer by the name of Liddle Towers who died following a spell in police custody. The police claim it was "justifiable homicide". 21/2 years later the courts reached a verdict as "death by misadventure". Awesome punk tune.

@greenyftm18 Heh 42 here! I still remember one of the best things about AU, Sham, SLF, et al, how easy it was to party with these guys at their shows and get to know them. We had a real brotherhood, I miss that.
