Being A Man Among Scoundrels
« on: October 24, 2011, 04:03:47 AM »
http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2011/10/06/sheriffs-deputy-quits-after-he-said-he-was-forced-to-beat-mentally-ill-inmate/

Some guy goes on the job and within a week, he quits because he doesn't want to be forced to beat inmates. Causes an explosion of criticism at the Los Angeles Sheriffs.

Its always nice to see people maintain their humanity because its easier to go with the flow.

And hello to all our new commentators. Nice to see you're no longer lurking, and posting now.

Dude, I thought you were a spambot for like a week. You posted like a spambot. You failed the Turing test.

Wait--you're saying that police act more like Nazi stormtroopers than "our protectors"?

What I said, was that we should acknowledge when people don't do bad things because they were ordered to do so.

In a perfect world, his job wouldn't exist in the first place, but yeah, youre right...........gotta be a fairly large type douchebag to work your way up the ranks of the current system.

They'd exist, but they would be accountable to their customers.
