1. Cruelty is the point

It makes you wonder what goes on in their homes. I doubt there is a huge difference between how they comport themselves at work or at home.

2. I read about this months ago. Exhausting.

And also it’s shameful how slowly this kind of news travels—if at all.

3. They don't even NAME THE DEPUTIES! Torture and murder, but SHELTERED from consequence

Reporters, PLEASE ASK:
What are THE NAMES OF THE DEPUTIES?
Have they been ARRESTED/
Have they DONE THIS BEFORE?


For that matter, why is any decent person labeling this as an “investigation into the arrests of Michael Corey Jenkins, 32, and Eddie Terrell Parker, 35”?
How about labeling it “an investigation into the torture and murder by police…”
