I recently watched the movie Running Man, and your quote reminded me that in the movie they have court appointed agents instead of attorneys, lol.

WTF is wrong with police? W the actual F is wrong with them? I swear they think their mandate is "harm the folks we arrest as much as the law will possibly allow, both physically and emotionally."

What kind of person thinks this is how you treat pictures of human beings in your custody? What kind of person finds this defensible? These are human beings who may have broken some laws, but who are still human beings. Your job is to apprehend them, not to make their life worse in any other way, cops. They don't become valid objects of your mockery in some official capacity because you arrested them.
