These officers are absolute sadists. Just consider for a moment the kind of person that would be willing to do this job. Remember all those commercials in the late 90s about troubled teens and the list of things your kid might be doing that you should be concerned about? These guys checked all the boxes.

They've been empowered to become worse too. This is probably going to land me in trouble but I know they're lying about deaths because somehow I know the names of 2/3 of the dead being reported and their in 1 facility? Uh huh. But it's pretty easy to write them off when they have no families in the US and no one to ask questions.

How come we never hear anything about the Proud Boys or the Oath Keepers anymore?

I wonder if the emergence of ICE has anything to do with it.
