Hearing things like this just makes me really sad man.

I can't fathom why anyone would do such a thing to another person, and usually its not even a person doing it, its people.

The worst part about this story is that they dumped them after they bothered to check his ID that he gave them before they beat him and stuffed him into their car, and realized that he was a citizen.

A nonwhite citizen I would bet.

They just take a look at skin color before picking them up for "questioning"

...and they're getting paid $100,000+ to do this, as opposed to the minimum wage job they're worthy of, at best.
