Taking bets on the racial distribution. Anyone have puts on 85% or greater black/POC victims?

This should be the kind of thing that results in a nationwide scandal and life jail sentences for the entire department. This is 672 individual citizens of the country who were slaughtered without cause. That's no oops, that's an extermination program.

672 is not a graveyard, that's a fucking mass grave. And yep I have no doubt what the majority of the dead's racial makeup is.
