    Well yeah, duh. But that doesn’t mean we stop trying to do better. People are saying “do the right thing”, and you’re saying “people already fucked up though” like it’s some sort of, I don’t know, excuse to not care about doing the right thing this time. Maybe, just maybe, if we can prove even the highest level crooks go to jail, we can shake the idea that “In America that there’s no point in doing anything because it’s already shit.”.

    I’m not saying let the fucker free. Lock him up til he dies. Prison rations. Solitary confinement. But if we torture, and excuse it because THIS TIME WE’RE SURE, and “it must be alright because the bad guys also tortured”, then we’ve only made a more torturous union.

      Nah, you were saying don’t torture via tap the sign reference. I was simply saying that problem already exists, and it sure as hell isn’t toward cops. It’s from cops.

      I was basically pointing out that if you’re against torture, you should really hate these fuckers.
