I can't imagine anything like this ever happening in the United States.
From the post:
"A leading opposition figure in Russia's volatile Ingushetia province was shot and killed Sunday after being detained by police... Magomed Yevloyev, a businessman and the owner of a Web site that angered Kremlin-backed local leaders with its coverage of official corruption and police abuse, suffered a gunshot wound to his head while in a police car taking him to a station for interrogation... The local government issued a statement saying that Yevloyev was shot after trying to seize a weapon from one of the police officers holding him. But a lawyer for Yevloyev ridiculed the explanation and said police dumped Yevloyev on a road after shooting him.... Yevloyev had just returned to Ingushetia after an absence of several months. He was seized by a large group of police officers after disembarking from a plane arriving from Moscow... the regional president, Murat Zyazikov, happened to be on the same flight and called police to the airport after recognizing Yevloyev in the business-class cabin... In a posting on his Web site last year [Yevloyev] claimed that Zyazikov had put a $50,000 bounty on his head."
