  • We're pretty sad, aren't we. Uhh...

    It makes me cringe.

  • Good... Someone's gotta crack some skulls in prison , may as well be the guards. Might deter some wannabe thugs from doing stupid shit that will get them thrown in jail.

  • @MrBrational And the ones who were never charged? How do you justify that?

  • @MrBrational

    You should watch the video. You could then see the many ways in which what you just said is utterly retarded.

  • @MrBrational so when a totally innocent man that only VISITED the jail got beaten half to death by the guards, that is fine?

  • Torturing prisoners? How is that even legal, even in insane America? Disgusting. And people wonder why there's so much crime there! Maybe learn something from Norway, treat people with respect in prison, and they'll become better citizens the day they're gonna come out and be somebody's neighbor. Unbelievable, right?? It's almost like it matters how you treat people. A Norwegian prisoner getting out of jail is 3 times less likely to end up in jail again within 2 years as an American prisoner.

  • Screw the animals thats why they are behind bars cause they cant stay out or maybe government should just let them roam the streets and live next to you liberal byotches.

  • The problem is that as prison populations grow they need more & more prison guards, forcing them to lower their standards. The same thing applies to the police as criminal enterprises grow the police force is required to grow. the only solution is to quit locking people up for things that do not involve acts of aggression against other (yes theft is an act of aggression), thus removing much of the profit from criminal enterprises. Shrinking workforces & allowing standards to rise.

  • I think jail should beat people, because then people will comet less crimes police officers and jails aren't supposed to be nice.

  • @pete145340 Well from prison system that are more hotel then prison, thus reform people prove to be the better option, thou for the ones that have fallen so much they don't deserve to be called a human anymore those sure go crazy.

  • @pete145340 When you treat a person like an animal that is exactly what they become. You are a fool but worse than that you are sadistic. Violence only leads to more violence but if you even knew how to spell then I wouldn't have to explain it to you. If you want your streets to be a safer place then you need to rehabilitate criminals. Give them the skills and the drive to become productive members of society.

  • @pete145340 ... So the guards are allowed to beat visitors half to death too? Did you even watch the video?

  • You said "Cruel and Unusual Punishment" when the words said "Cruel and Usual Punishment".

  • Jails should never be comfortable .. It's suppose to be place you don't want to go to ,, if more inmates were sent home beat the hell up maybe it would slow down or stop these dum young kids that commit these since less crimes and killing from thinking that jail cool and you get some kind of street points for doing a bid in jail..

  • @33alife you know that, what these guards did was against the law right? by the way, harder punishment do not lower crime rates.(look it up if you want)

  • Link says the survey is unavailable now. sunuvabitch!

  • Funny how the ACLU and attorneys dont tell the whole story of how the visitor who got beaten up was trying illegally smuggle in a cell phone

  • @canecorsomob Oh, in that case, totally legitimate beating...

  • Oddly enough, people claim the middle east is a brutal and unforgiving country, yet even in a democratic state, these things happen behind closed doors.

    Just goes to show you, no matter how far society progresses, these brutalities are just human nature, and see's no race or color. Everyone is capable of such evil.

  • Amerika is Evil , Deal with it 

  • Ah, America, the land of the free! :P

  • I'm sorry that I just saw this vid because the petition is no longer available after clinking the link:(

  • @HappyAtheist76 you right-wingers are all fucktards, stop sucking on bush's cock

  • God, if these kinds of things happen in the USA, I can't imagine what goes on in other nations...

  • @xXfainarufantajiXx They shove coke bottles up people's asses in Mexican prisons. In Mexico there are glass coke bottles, & ads with the bottle on them, the image is everywhere. & every time they see that, they will be reminded of the time they got one in their butt. It is a carefully planned mind fuck. This is done by the guards mind you. In the U.S. Judges & prosecutors, cops, think it is hilarious to joke about prisoners being sexually assaulted. These officials deserve to be hurt severely.

  • Will this petition be available again?

  • Definitely will sign the petition. What a disgusting atrocity.

  • Mral of the story: Don't land your ass in Jail. Pretty simple.

  • @exconguitar Even if you're just visiting like the man at the end of the video?

  • @exconguitar Except for that guy who was only visiting the jail and was beaten.

  • what if you found out that the man who's head got cracked had repeatetly raped your daughter. Would you feel sorry for him then ?

  • @exconguitar maybe not, but that was clearly not the case. even if that was the case the justice system seen fit to put that person in jail, it is not the job of the guards to sever there own justice. i know that system is not a very good one but thats what we got to work with. also there are ppl being falsely jailed all the time for crimes such as rape so thats why the system is needed altho it does not all of the time.

  • @nenedent I understand that completely and can't imagine what that would be like. But for the real criminals, Sorry man, I have no sympathy. I say these things cuzz my dads a cop, so I'm biased to day the least.

  • @LiberalViewer

    i tried filling out the petition call for Sheriff Lee Baca's resignation but the page is unavailable

  • After 8 yrs in the Marines I worked as a police officer, then in a city jail, county jail, 3 state prisons, and finally in a penitentiary for the Federal Bureau of Prisons. I finally got out of that work and became a teacher. However, I NEVER saw any physical abuse of prisoners--EVER. Everywhere I worked we used the "Use of Force" module. I think CAMERAS everywhere in prisons would reduce the #s of illegal incidents. Police work made me depressed and cynical of people.

  • @gorwell97 If you've never worked in that environment, you have NO idea of what it's like; no matter how many TV shows you watch about prisons. Although physical abuse of inmates isn't justified, I'm tired of the portrayal that guards just go around beating people indiscriminatly. In the Fed. pen where I worked the inmate pop. would retaliate if that happened. The "Bad" guards are the 1% that get all the news.

  • I hope those deputies get put in prison. That would be interesting.

  • I think the degree of civilization in a society can be judged not only by visiting its jails. But whether or not the society can provide universal healthcare. Basic human rights including the right to live without going to jail for not being able to afford health care costs, is also a test of a MODERN civilization.

  • Fuck Man This is really sad, That the people supposed to protect us are the one hurting us.

  • 05:36 Mr Madcow sit firmly on the side of the enforcers ;()

  • I fear for all when our police do that to the innocent....

  • I don't get how they got away with beating a visitor...

  • @Cheedillow bcuz hes a fucking gangster, u will be surprised who tries to "Visit" these guys just their homeboys from the hood

  • @backatchalol shut up fagget . those same deputys are the ones butt fuckin every one in there hurry up an grab your ticket queer bate they'll love you. wheres the bitch, theres the BITCH.

  • @dafkrew323 You spelled faggot wrong and keep it up

  • A FUCKING VISITOR! They beat up a visitor. I want these people's names.

  • I think all prisons should be like Norwegian prisons.

  • I think the constant jokes, threats by authority figures, including judges on sexual assaults says a lot about the prison system in the United States. It says a lot about the people in general. Think about what we arrest people for. How many of those people in L.A.s jails are in there because they violently attacked someone?

  • you missed something: america is actually an elective dictatorship(or REPRESENTATIVE democracy which is basically the same thing with slightly more power per individual) as you simply elect a leader to make decisions for you, why do you think they go power-mad?, so it is their responcibility more then that of the us, actually i am pretty sure that the deputies are the ones at fault and they are MADMEN(and should see a psychiatrist about it)

  • You should see Guantanamo 

  • Fuck those deputy's

  • Wish I had seen this sooner.. the petition is now "currently unavailable"

  • GO RACHEL!!!

  • This is beyond sad, and then you have so many idiots who say and they do themselves put their trust in the government our judges and our police departments. Look at what they do!!!!!!!!!!

  • It's not "cruel and unusual punishment". That implies that the inmate actually did something wrong while in custody and deserves "punishment". These inmates did nothing to deserve this treatment, this is just brutality without reason! Prison guards are assholes on a power trip. So are most people in the justice business actually.

  • Petition is no longer up

  • may I mirror this video please?

  • I.M SO ANGRY I CAN,T BREATH

  • @DaHonestAbe Why do you use the term 'rednecks'? Why don't you use 'Right-wing Jack-booted thugs?' Do you even know what a real redneck is? Or was for that matter... They wore red handkerchiefs around in their neck to signify they were UNION members in the Coal wars in West Virginia. I get sick of people using that term to describe 'white, right winged trash', when don't even know what it truly means.... Ones that stand up to the 'Companies' and want civil rights among all workers...

  • I hate how much power the police have in America. Signed the petition... I hope all the cops who abused their position end up being as weak and helpless as their victims.

  • They tried to make me go to "rehab" but I said, "You will not be without resistance of your twisted persecution system run under manipulative pretenses"

  • So where the hell are all the GOPers screaming about government tyranny?

    Oh never mind...

  • @turnofffox Come on now. Only when "er guns r gunna be pryed frum er cold dead hans by big gub'mint" that we worry about "gub'mint teeranee"

  • @DaHonestAbe Yeah I know. Isnt it amazing though that right after Bush left and we elected Obama that The rednecks all started collecting guns en masse and they never did this during the Bush years?

  • anyone who has been to jail knows what guards do to inmates, i was in jail for three hours. and seen a guy that was standing in his cell. the guard said no one is allowed to stand in my block. and the guy said thats bullshit. so the 2 guards opened his cell and all you herd was them punching kicking slaming. and the guy screaming ill sit please ill sit. it happens all the time if i was in their for three hours, can you emagin 24hrs.

  • Fire the staff at the jail and put in people who actually need jobs.

  • i was arrested about 2 years ago and sent to l.a county jail for 5 days.... fuck!!!!!!!!!!!! the officers are ASSHOLES!!!! i was sitting and we were told to not move and stare straight. we were in that position for about 2 hours (we were waiting to get in the cells) and some guy next to me stretched out his arms and the officer hit him behind the head. the guy fell and the officer said 'i told you not to move bitch'. i was scared shitless. that was just one incedent out of many

  • As a conservative (who enjoys most of your videos, even if I disagree with some), I absolutely agree. These sorts of atrocities should be fought vehemently by those on both sides of the aisle. It's an embarrassment to all Americans, liberal, conservative, and everything in-between.

  • @saberswordsmen1 No - it's not. There's a reason it's called "JAIL".

  • @exconguitar Jail /= free ride to beat the shit out of people. Jail is a place to serve time for crimes committed as punishment.

  • My country, Canada, voted in a conservative government. They only received about 38 percent of the vote, with 62 percent voting for progressive parties, but thats how our multiparty system works. Anyway, this conservative party is made of of ex reform party members. a far right wing cabal. they adored anything about far right texas style "justice". but a vast cbc study showed even texas conservatives calling our governments 'tough on crime' agenda a useless ideological throwback. i love it !

  • @HonestOpinion1984 well Harper won a majority last time, a sign our country is going to shit? :(

  • @Jllucky8 I believe it's the eigth amendment that says a suspect cannot se subjected to cruel and unusual punishment, just the fact that he was in jail doesn't justify him being beaten

  • Yesterday, it was these poor guys. Tomorrow, it could be us.

  • $5 says the cap loses his job and becomes a train conductor.

  • Canada continues to get pretty bad too. it's not anything like what's going on in your country, but it's still disturbing.

  • Lol yall aint seen nothin' yet. Wait till you go to a Texas jail.....

  • This is monstrous. And you want to increase the size of this monstrosity, Liberalviewer? You don't think that opening up more positions of bureaucratic power will increase the opportunity for this sort of injustice?

  • It would be interesting to know how many of the prisoners that go to this jail re-offend.

  • Developing countries like Afghanistan, Iran, and USA would do well to treat their prisoners in accordance with basic human rights.

  • Our prison system is so broken it doesn't fix people it breaks them.

  • Jail Keeper and Guards are not the people who carry out the punishment, they are the people who are supposed to be making sure that the inmates are cared for.

  • Comment removed

  • It's funny how the States supposedly treats people equally and fairly. However, this is proof they don't.

  • @MegaDarth666: there isn't such thing as equity in not just the US alone, but think of other countries as well that comprise of segregation of people and so forth. Prisons facilities are more than a common factor of segregating, you may as well point out that brutality of prisoners and their prison guards are LITERALLY a daily ritual for troublemakers alike surviving ultimate consequences from one another.

  • I am sitting here, patiently staring at my computer screen, waiting for another fucking video!

    C'mon, LiberalViewer!... Fuuuck!...

    Uygur spits one out every five minutes!

  • @TheDisturbism

    FYI, my next video should be up in less than 24 hours

    Thanks for commenting :-)

  • @LiberalViewer Thank you Jesus! No pressure, though. Don't rush! Just sayin'...

  • @LiberalViewer Things can get kind of boring, up here in Canada...

  • @Jllucky8 wrote: "Gordon Grbavac was not charged with anything?? OK then please explain how he wound up in prison..."

    Grbavac was in jail. Police arrest people, sometimes taking them to jail. Prosecutors charge and courts/juries convict. Gordon Grbavac was arrested, taken to jail, but never charged or convicted. And, about 2/3 of the people in LA County jail are pre-trial detainees, meaning they also haven't been convicted.

    I hope that clears up your misunderstanding and

    thx 4 commenting :-)

  • @LiberalViewer If you are arrested and spend several days in jail you have to be charged with something. Defendants have to be arraigned within 24 hours, YOU state he was in jail for several days, unless your telling me that the DA's office and the court system also violated his rights. I'm sure that will be your future claim...

  • @LiberalViewer If you are not charged the police can not detain you. So he had to have been charged with something.

  • @MrTimkan7719 In Fascist AMERIKA you can be charged with anything, look at the hundreds perhaps thousands of people in this country who are arrested, charged and jailed for simply performing their civic duty and videotaping the police in public performing their tax paid duties. 65 million Americans or one in four adults have a criminal record. Locking up US citizens in Prison is BIG BUSINESS, business is a booming, and rest assured they are looking for new customers.

  • @Jllucky8 I have been arrested and spent days in jail only to be released with no charges.

  • @Jllucky8 No, what a joke YOU are. Are you seriously condoning this behavior you fucking ignorant goof bitch?????????

  • @NeilCrouse Hey jerkoff I said the following in a previous post " If a corrections officer does this he should himself be locked up" you really have to read before posting, maybe your ignorance has prevented you from doing so. I am attacking the accuracy of this case which provides no evidence..

  • @Jllucky8 So your expecting me to read all of your previous quotes now??? Holly fuck man, you really are an ASS.

  • @NeilCrouse Yes, that would be the equivalent to listening before you speak, heard of that? Or were you to busy talking? Please don't reproduce, your vocabulary alone demonstrates your IQ.

  • @LiberalViewer You've got some loyal viewers. Some guy responded to my comment to defend you when I was abrupt!...

  • @TheDisturbism Uygur does it for his job, Liberalviewer is doing it as a hobby

  • @loveofphysics Mr. Asch does some mighty fine hobby work. If I could just get him to ignore his family and his commitments, he might have more time for his research and editing...

  • @TheDisturbism - Yo go make your own videos if you want them faster. I'm not connected with LiberalViewer...I'm sure they're doing what they can. are you?

  • I would love to sign this but unfotunataly I do not live in the US so.

  • Because man can not breed with another man . although in prison that dont stop em trying to breed in your ass HA HA but basicly if a thug is in prison he aint breeding so the planet will slowley get more educated and smarter as long as we keep all the tugs locked up . since the last 1000 years as we lock up our violent members stopping them from breeding . its a fact that the planet is less agressive . apart from man working as a group NOW THATS FUCKING DANGEROUS :( LIKE GOVENMENT AND MOB RULE

  • If you belive what Maddow or Buddnick says about what allegedly happened (in front of Buddnick) I have a bridge to sell you. They are so worried about the violence in jails but not a mention about the violence inmates commited on the streets when they were free. What a joke. And the 100 sworn states from convicts are all accurate yeah sure... Its not like they are planning a civil lawsuit for a payday from the counties deep pockets or something.

  • @Jllucky8 If you think the visitor who got brutally beaten by the deputies doesn't have a case against the county, then power to you...

  • @ContradictoryNature Assuming that the convict was NOT in the process of assaulting or comitting some other henious act on another inmate or officer and the force used against him was necessary to get him under control. I don't assume anything to be true especially whats on Maddow's show. Why don't we ever see the actual follow up to these cases? Because at least then we would know if these accusations are true.

  • @Jllucky8 We never see the follow-up to these cases because the news cycle moves too quickly for anyone to retain interest past a week or two. Cases like these go on for years while defendants (the county in this case) hum and haw and obfuscate their way through the procedures precisely because they want it to go on long enough. Our trained, three-second attention span will eventually falter and the media impetus to support the victim will die down and we go back to pretending nothing happened.

  • @ContradictoryNature There are tons of real life crime shows on these days that take you from the beginning of the crime right up to sentencing of the suspect, thats a fact. Are you telling me with something this serious that gets an initial 30 minutes air time cannot be followed up? Come on man, the reason it doesn't is because a large majority of these cases are fradulent. Inmates who victimized innocent people are suddenly being victimized and we are supossed to believe its all true?

  • @ContradictoryNature Even though some of the cases may be accurate a large majority are not. The civil legal system has become nothing more than a tool for scammers like these convicts who know how to steal tax payer's money. With all the pressing issues in society the last thing we should be worried about is some rapist getting a beating in jail for acting up. And I dont believe the corrections officers just beat people on a regular basis for fun while risking jail time and loss of their jobs.

  • @Jllucky8 I get the feeling you're basing your opinion on pretty limited information and a grudge against anyone with a prison sentence. Not to imply that everyone with a prison sentence doesn't deserve a grudge. But even if you ignore the plethora of reports condeming US prisoner treatment, the Stanford prison experiment provides convincing evidence that people in the position of "prison guard," even if it's imaginary, are still capable of some pretty fucked up shit. Food for thought.

  • @Jllucky8 Why do you hate convicts so much? They are human beings, you know. And Maddow is 100% verified. They actually report news! I know! If only faux was interested in truth...

  • @jymbo1969 I don't hate anyone, did I say that? Maddow in the above video portrays correction officers as ruthless savages who are running wild in all prisons. These "jail guards" as you call them do a job you don't have the balls to do, they get beat up, taken hostage and even killed at times and this wimpering liberal slug makes not one mention of that. But she cries for the rapist/murder who gets slapped around after getting out of line. Maddow 100% verified by who? You? LMAO

  • @Jllucky8 there is no excuse for this kind of treatment. you look like a retard trying to defend this sociopathic violence.

  • @Jllucky8 Why would this story mention the reason this man was incarcerated? It isn't relevant. I didn't say by me.. I meant "I know hard to believe when you're a faux noise zombie...:" They police themselves. Including retracting and correcting on air.. unlike Bill Oreally..? Who said that ...ok so the moon causes the tides, smart guy.. how did the moon get there?... Off air. Dumbass. Liberals ar not the mirror image of conservatives. Liberals have facts.

  • @Jllucky8 Sorry, but even the most heinous criminal should not be abused, by guards or inmates, in an American prison. Restrained if necessary? Sure. Subdued if circumstances reach such a level of necessity? Sure. Placed in solitary if deserved? Sure. But not abused.

  • @criskity You really need to read all posts by someone before commenting. I did say " If a corrections officer does this he should himself be locked up" so don't be sorry, just read.

  • @jymbo1969 According to the guy at 2:26 his head was rammed into a glass door over half a dozen times yet I can't see one scar. Does anyone stop to think that those incarcerated have an ax to grind with the criminal justice system?? If a corrections officer does this he should himself be locked up, but this video and its overtones is way over the top...

  • @Jllucky8 and what about the catholic priest that witnessed a chained man being beaten for nothing? why is he lying?

  • @chapstickfantasy All of a sudden the progressive liberals are taking the words of a priest, haa thats a first, they usually just call them pedophiles. Like Susan Serandon called the present pope a Nazi.. Why would he lie? An ax to grind, pay off, who knows.. Why did Tawana Brawley lie? Rachel Madcow should conduct a real investigation about the incident, furher interviews, medical records, police reports, hospital runs all missing from this faux investigation. No case here just allegations.

  • @Jllucky8 He said glass.. you and I know it was unbreakable... It was either composite with steel lattice or it was a polymer... not a glass window like in your haouse. And you know it. It sucks being on the dumbass side of an issue, doesn't it?

  • @jymbo1969 Come on, if your head is rammed into anything over 6 times besides a pillow your gonna be injured. fractured eye orbit cuntusions, serious echymosis etc. Where are these injuries? Where is the medical documentation? Witnesses? If MSNBC want to TRY to report something they have to investigate. These stories Madcow puts together is nothing but hearsay at best, no facts. See my reply to chapstickfantasy. As far as news affiliations go I will defer to ratings which say it all.

  • @jymbo1969 "He said glass.. you and I know it was unbreakable..." No I don't and neither do you, sounds like your ready to be an MSNBC allegation reporter! Congratulations! And for your information unbreakable glass such as then type used between inmates and visitors who talk via telephone intercom is as hard as stone. Ram your head into a couple, no 7 times and send me a picture. Have fun!

  • As a correctional officer at a wisconsin correctional institution, I can say without a doubt that inmates are handled in a professional matter. We are good people that deal with thousands of convicted felons that, let me assure you, are not "victims". Please do not let one sensational story generalize all inmate/correctional officer interactions.

  • @TheDieselbiscuit Thank you for not going to the opposite extreme and generalising about all correctional officers' good intentions. Brutality in American jails is not an opinion, it's a fact, but that's not to say it's the same all over the country.

  • Dogs don't get to resign, dogs get put down.

    Honestly I can't ask them to resign, I will ask them to execute the deputies. That in no way is a joke, for people in power to intentionally cover it up and possibly kill/beat to a pulp inmates and people being held before being charged and even visitors is more evil then almost any murderer. They are intentionally covering it up, and know it's wrong. Most murderers are not pre-planned. These are pre-planned beatings and possibly killings.

  • Yes.

    Yes.

  • Resign???? is what they are doing not illegal? should they not be jailed them selves?

  • Call them on their unprofessional behaviour. Evil flourishes when good men stand idly by!

  • I agree this form of abuse is unacceptable. But the reality is that the average inmate is no sweetheart either, and these deputies are vastly outnumbered. They rely on fear to keep the army of potential rioting inmates in order. Now, wether you like that or not, it is a hard job and it takes a certain type of person to do that job. You don't get a chihuahua to guard your house either, You get vicious, mean-looking, aggressive dog that induces fear at plain sight. It's a tough issue.

  • @AlexWoodGarbage

    Not to be a devils advocate but the average criminal is a sweetheart. Well not quite, but the majority of criminals are not violent criminals, and are very well behaved. IIRC only 12% of prison inmates cause "trouble"(As in a record while in prison, got in a fight, stabbed a guy, etc etc etc) in their entire sentence as an example.

  • How many Los Angeles police officers does it take to throw a suspect down a flight of stairs?

    None, he fell.

  • i even would not come to america in a hijacked airplane !

  • This type of treatment can only lead to the denigration of our society furthering our track to a police state.

  • YAY! Zimbardo effect...but in real life? Yep, people are just that effed up. Honestly, you can take the neanderthal out of the stone age, but you can't take the stone age out of the neanderthal. Fact o life.

    Injustice? Sure. But justice? Good luck. Gossip = more profit than adherence to social conventions

    The link works, but it's case sensitive, so you have to capitalize the S, the T, and the B, beginning the words in StopTheBrutality. There's also a hyperlink you can click right below the video player. I hope that helps and

    thanks for commenting :-)

  • @LiberalViewer Gordon Grbavac was not charged with anything?? OK then please explain how he wound up in prison since most people in prison have to be arrested by the police, charged and booked under some violation of law before being lodged in a jail cell. There are log books and booking sheets that actually have to be filled out. Unless he was kidnapped by Rogue cops and held against his will by evil correction officers. Oh that was your next story right? What a joke this channel is!

  • Signed and shared.

  • Fuck thuh Poh-leece!

  • I just hope that this doesn't turn into another case of giving inmates an easier life behind bars than otherwise... Though, I've never been to prison, so I don't know for sure, someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but there are many cases I've heard of where people in nursing homes are living much worse lives than our own country's inmates. Not sure if that's related to being easy on lawbreakers, or nursing homes being completely shitty.

  • @FrostmourneFK: Well, Nursing homes in the US are generally privately run, so they range from extremely well managed to abysmally poorly run. Likewise, penitentiaries, though government-run, range from minimum to maximum security, with management of each overseen by the warden. It would not surprise me at all to learn that the worst run nursing homes are worse to live in than a minimum security penitentiary run by a competent warden.

    Note: 'Competent' does not necessarially equal 'Lenient'.

  • The changes in the United States society during my life is an evolutionary process. It has slowly changed from professing to be a moral bastion into a country that, by their actions, says "only the Untied States deserves true democracy", and "it's Ok if the Untied States kills and tortures people from other countries without justification, but it's not Ok to do the same to Americans". In L.A. Country, it's Ok to mistreat citizens.

    POLICE WANT ALL THE POWER BUT NONE OF THE RESPONSIBILITY.

  • Fuck the police

  • LOL online petitions...yeah, that'll work.

  • @pasinurminen2233 better than doing nothing

  • Signing up now.

    

  • The police are getting out of hand. We now have to protect ourselves from those we PAY to protect us. We are becoming a police state.

  • So much for the argument that the USA doesn't torture people anymore. Tell me, did you buggers ever stop torturing people?

  • Chaplain Paulino Juarez appears to be genuinely disturbed by the incident that he witnessed and I find his testimony to be credible.

  • For many years, the county's Office of Independent Review and the ACLU have advocated placing cameras throughout the jail to document what occurs. "There are times when deputies are not being held accountable because we can't reach the level of proof we need to go forward," says Michael Gennaco, chief attorney in the Office of Independent Review, which reviews force incidents and Baca's disciplinary decisions. "Cameras tend to be tiebreakers." LA Weekly

  • It's funny because people like to think that when people are in prison that the guards and such are there to help people to reform to become functioning members of society and use there force ONLY when ABSOLUTELY necessary but when conduct like this is being practiced regularly in prison it makes these men and women more removed from society. Not to mention the potential lethality if these attacks

  • Petition signed (and I don't normally do internet petitions).

    People in prisons are usually released back into society at some point. These inmates will be like abused animals: scared, aggressive, violent. As for the deputies that engage in this, anyone who would do that to another human being should be locked away themselves. I don't care if the inmates (or even visitors!) don't deserve any better. You don't treat another human being like that. Especially if the goal is reform and release.

  • If u cant do the time, don't do the crime.

  • @VandalayProductions Aside from the ridiculous implications of your comment, do you even know what this video is about?

  • @VandalayProductions Heartless fool. Either you didn't watch the clip or you're just plain stupid, not understanding the situation

  • @VandalayProductions You didn't watch the video, did you?

  • @reafdaw01

    I did actually.

    Beating a visitor is of course wrong but we only got one side of the story on that one.

    Why would they do that without at least some reason? Doesn't make sense.

    The allegations from the inmates on the other hand must be taken with a tonne of salt.

    Remember we are dealing with rapists and murderers and professional criminals here. To take their word for true is very naive.

    They probably did something a lot worse to end up where they are.

  • @VandalayProductions actually it makes perfect sense.

    You beat them so they understand you control their very lives. People then will do whatever you say.

    Prisons foster an authoritarian mind set. That means exerting power over others it's own motivation.

  • Hypothetical question for Americans;

    If you heard this exact story, word-for-word, except it happened in a different country, what would you think of that country?

  • @dechha1981 some third world country with poor human rights? :D

  • If county jails do this, I can imagine what they do in prisons. No wonder prisoners come out more screwed up.

  • @HybridD91 they don't come out more screwed up because of the officers, they come out more screwed up because of the other inmates.
