given what we know of the quality of the people he chooses.

Peace ☮️

They meet the ICE gestapo skill set requirements.

Trump will deputize them at the state prison, hand them a badge and a gun. Eagerly waiting for them to finish their prison sentences.

Yeee - Haaa, more Fascist meatheads for his private army Gestapo storm trooper squad.

Good for them, they deserve to suffer for years languishing in their prison cells. Should have longer sentences but this is at least years long sentences.

Now, excuse me as I’m gonna puke after watching it and I hope they never emerge from prison

Just plain awful. Here you go:

Sat Dec 28, 2024: The monsters that beat Robert Brooks to death on 12/9/24.. here are their names

I hope they get everything they deserve ... in prison!

Poorly educated with no critical thinking skills much less any empathy for another living being. There's a reason that higher education includes philosophy classes, etc.

These goons look like a bunch that I know that "don't need no stinkin' college degrees"... Makes me sick to my stomach. I'll bet every damn one of them supports Trump.

I hope they get everything they deserve in prison, too.

any reason for doing so? Did the prisoner lodge a complaint about something, was he considered "non-compliant" and/or were the goons simply vicious thugs?

Effing cowards, I’m glad they were fired, tried and convicted.

why do they seem to enjoy destroying people?

America is so terribly dysfunctional.

Variations of this are not uncommon. I remember conversations about such violence with Rubin, when he was in state prison in New Jersey.

When my son applied for a position at a youth facility, one of his references mentioned he was a Golden Gloves champion. I think events suggested that was a factor in hiring him. He went through the training, which included tactics to restrain a teen in worse case scenarios. He had been hopeful that he could help kids as a therapist. However, on his second night, he became aware that staff beat the shit out of the teens that acted out. My son questioned why they hadn't followed policy, and learned how things operated. Thus, he left the job. Two weeks later, the facility was in the news, as staff beat a teen to death.

When I was employed at the clinic, part of my job was to work in the county jail. Mainly groups, some one-on-one. It was not uncommon to see a young inmate with a black eye or swollen face. I remember talking with my uncle, a retired BCI Senior Investigator, about this. He said that the types who are employed as jail or prison guards tended to be less interested in law enforcement than having a legal way to beat people up.

This is just speculation on my part, as someone who takes interest in this subject, but as there are more and more cuts in budgets, we will see a rise in prison riots.

... that is the prison industrial complex in the United States.

And the appalling conditions in the immigrant prison system has gone from horrific to torturous.

If our nation is ever to be one we can be proud of, we must join other nations in providing universal health care -- including addiction and high quality mental health care for ALL (Over 70% of people in U.S. jails and prisons have a diagnosed mental illness, a substance use disorder, or both) and we must make substantial investment in ending mass incarceration and ensuring those who are given over to the care of the state, whatever their crimes, are treated humanely.

How our government treats those in its power says EVERYTHING about who we are as a people.

And right now, we count among the worst in the world. And on perhaps the most inhumane thing you can subject a person to, solitary confinement, we are No. 1.

It breaks my heart.

not Alabama or Georgia.

Can we now make broad assumptions and accusations about the white people who live in NEW YORK?

There likely are a lot more “officers” like them, in uniform and out, enjoying impugnity as they walk among us.

The tape is horrifying, played over many times on my local news. Most of the men pleaded guilty and another went to trial and was found guilty.

I have to ask for the millionth time, what is wrong with people? When do they lose their humanity (assuming, of course, they ever had any)?

I can't imagine beating another human being to death.
