Perhaps if the miners hadn't charged the police like idiots they'd still be alive. No sympathy what so ever, if you attack the police you have no right to complain when they defend themselves!

In any case the miners weren't just striking the two rival union factions were physically assaulting each other resulting in people being seriously wounded. The police had no choice but to intervene in order to quell the disturbance. Anyone who says otherwise is distorting the truth and is guilty of lying.
