Although this looks very blatant, our cops, District Attorneys, FBI, and justice system do the exact same thing.
When "white collar" criminals are brought to courthouses, the cops know these guys are not going to pull a shank out of their trousers and knife them like some gang banger punk. But, they make them do the "perp walk" before the cameras as well. Some of the Enron executives (who were later never convicted) drove to the courthouse in a van free of handcuffs, but it stopped a couple of blocks of the cameras and media camped out there, put handcuffs on all of them, and then opened the doors to haul them out right in front of the reporters.
So, while the Peruvians were very blatant about it, we do the same thing.
Yes, the “perp walk” in the US is very popular.
But Joran had already done the Peruvian perp walk.
What they did here was a second very unusual perp walk——bringing Joran to a Peruvian official’s press conference so the world could watch him being manhandled by the beefy cops.....that was the unusual part.
I’m glad they did it....nice to to see the little worm squirm. But it’s not the procedure seen in the US.
Kudos to the Peruvians-—we should do that here.
