I was amused to discover that medical billing has given us an ICD-10 code for "patient sucked into jet engine... second or subsequent time", but I really, *really* want to know the story behind "legal intervention involving bayonet, suspect injured".

I mean, I knew transfers of inappropriate military equipment to the police were out of control, but *bayonets*?

Bayonets.

@cerebrate It's all about composability. "Legal intervention involving object" and "object = bayonet"

@cerebrate That way you can search records for injuries, legal interventions, and bayonets separately or in any combination. (Also why "again" is a tag. So you can search for those who don't learn the first time.)

@cerebrate That's nothing new. You know about Peterloo, right?

@soundnfury

It's not new, but it's also not something one expects in the 21st century. Even at my level of cynicism.
