RE: Cop Arrested for Raping a Mentally Ill Man Who Was Chained to a Hospital Bed

in #news7 years ago

Its not that I think that all the apples are eternally rotten, but I see it as more of a situation of positions of power having some type of intoxicating effect on people, especially when that power affords people the special privilege of getting away with things, or always having their word trusted above others.

I think that some type of protection is needed, especially for people in rough areas, but I think that the people who provide those services should be held to the same legal and ethical standards as the rest of us.

Thank you for the thoughtful discussion as always :-)

I agree with both of these above posts.

Power corrupts!

I think people forget the definition of tyranny is someone in authority who oversteps their authority. Given that cops can and routinely ticket or arrest people for not being "cooperative", despite the fact that we have the right to not self-incriminate, speaks volumes as to the intoxication they have in their own power.

Thank you too, brother. These are discussions we need to have.
