Meanwhile if I do that to a police officer, I would be getting 5+ years in jail.

This is just one of so many reasons why all of us need to get well organize and abolish their police unions and abolish their national sheriff association as both police unions and the national sheriff association shield the police and sheriffs from not getting held accountable to the full extent of the law for their wrong doings we need real justice to get serve always

At least all those good apples stepped in and stopped it instead of just watching and helping hi-- oh dang, I guess they did do all that stuff, since you never seem to find any good ones, and especially in jails.

Those guys are the absolute worst scum of the earth ever. Their prisoners/slaves/captives have no constitutional rights for them to worry about. They have to do exactly what they say, no matter what, and they almost never face consequences like this.

All jail guards should have to wear bodycams, and there needs to be civilian oversight. It's an out of sight/out of mind situation and it's fucked beyond reason
