[Mrs. Don-o]

God only knows what some people deserve: but this opens up the possibility that the "chief beater" and all his accomplices deserve a beating as well. They are not above the law. And if police, correctional officials and the like think they are above the law, to administer beatings as they see fit, there is not one person in this country who is safe.

And if we *let* them do it, then we are complicit.

My older son has a degree in Law Enforcement and for a rather short time worked in a correctional facility. I have taught both my sons, and all my students, that everyone is responsible for what they know.

Many societies have gone down the road to officially-tolerated hell. It can happen extremely rapidly. How do societies go to hell? One "extrajudicial" beating at a time.

Sorry for your unjust experience (or was it not unjust?).

Mrs, Don-O only mentioned two countries of probably hundreds of places on this earth that people are beaten or worse while in custody. You really think it might be ok to go there ?

I’m waiting to hear more about the person that got the beating before I decide how upset I am with the cops....we cheer when certain perps are put in general population and get shivved..

The court had already decided what the inmate “deserved”. This is a breach of trust to the rule of law by these officers. Perhaps you may end up on the wrong side of Justice one day, or one of your children....

Dr John’s version is good, but I think my favorite is Professor Longhair’s. James Booker did a good one too.
