Well, duh, yeah. It’s not like you want to give someone a chance to hit you back if you don’t have to. /S

Where did the idiot get his training? Everyone knows that inmates are used to administer beatings. The later benefits that the inmate receives, of course, are not a quid pro quo. It’s just a coincidence.

“ He faces a maximum penalty of five years of imprisonment on the conspiracy and perjury counts, 10 years of imprisonment on the excessive force count, and 20 years of imprisonment on each of the remaining obstruction counts.”

Too bad they don’t put him in the general population at Angola.

If they were to do that, his sentence would be far less than 20 years.

He said “Six months, ain’t no sentence...
and one year, ain’t no time”
“I was born, down in Angola
doing from fourteen to ninety-nine.”

By the way, I prefer Dr. John’s version. If you haven’t listened to it, I recommend it, although he replaces ANgola with Ponderosa.

Yes,I know I'll be blasted but:

Is it possible that this handcuffed prisoner *deserved* to be beaten?

Any body interested, check out Larry Lawton on Youtube in Gangster Redemption. He tells you about prison.

Yeah, OK, I'll blast you.

This is not North Korea. This is not Iran.

You want extrajudicial and unconstitutional punishments, you might really appreciate Shari'a. Hard to listen to this from an American.

Just over 50 years ago I had the tar beaten out of me by an Army Drill Sergeant for the crime of being a Yankee (he was a good old Southern boy).So don't tell me that "extrajudicial" beatings don't occur.

Very few choir boys wind up in Angola,perhaps the toughest state prison in the country.

I think it's distinctly possible....likely,in fact...that he deserved that beating
