Since the abolition of the death penalty in the Netherlands in 1870, life imprisonment has almost always meant imprisonment until death; unlike in other countries in Europe, there is no possibility of parole for anyone sentenced to life imprisonment.
 Though the prisoner can appeal for pardon, it must be granted by royal decree; since the 1970s, only two such pardons have been successful, both being terminally ill.
 Since 1945, 41 criminals (excluding war criminals) have been sentenced to life imprisonment.
 There has been a noticeable increase of life imprisonment sentences being given in the last decade, and more than triple the number of life imprisonment sentences in the last few years than the previous decades.

"Police Truck" is a song by the Dead Kennedys.
 The song was originally released in May, 1980, as the B-side of the "Holiday in Cambodia" single and later released in June 1987 on the DKs' compilation album, "Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death".
 The song is a satirical attack on the actions of two police officers, and takes a first person view from the authorities themselves.
 The song was inspired by an incident that occurred in Los Angeles in the late 1970s in which two police officers performed illegal activities such as drinking on the job, beating up drunks, and raping prostitutes.
 It also functions more generally as an attack on police corruption and brutality and the police's support for a capitalist system.
On April 4, 2009, a shootout occurred at 1016 Fairfield Street in the Stanton Heights neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States, stemming from a mother and her 22-year-old son's argument over a dog urinating in the house.

 Despite Poplawski's mother telling the 9-1-1 operator that Poplawski had guns, the police officers were not told.
 Three police officers were ultimately confirmed dead, and another two were seriously injured.

 Meanwhile, in Tokyo, two police officers pursue a violent criminal named Tsuin through the streets and into a train station.
 After shooting two bystanders in the women's restroom, he takes a young girl hostage and hides in a stall with her.
 However, the lights go out in the restroom and he is attacked by the assassin known as Sawa the Angel of Death who quickly disarms and shoots him, leaving a pile of feathers on his corpse.
 Later that night, Monaka, the girl that currently assumes the identity of Sawa, goes to work at Apollo 11, a maid cafe with a perverted regular patron.
 Monaka plays the part of a nerdy, clumsy high school girl while in public making her a vulnerable target for harassment.
