A hypothetical question.....
One of your relatives is murdered and another is taken hostage by a group of thugs. The police capture one of the thugs.

Would you approve of the police using "harsh interrogation" (i.e using the child's fear of stinging insects by blindfolding him and locking him up in a box with non-stinging creepy crawlers)
on the 10 year old child of the thug in custody in order to get him to blab as to where the others are?

2. A bullshit hypothetical. I would torture no child
for any reason in any circumstance. I wouldn't even torture an adult under any circumstance. I refuse to even watch prison movies because they make me sick to my stomach..they invariably have mistreatment of the prisoners...people who have no control at all over how they are treated.

3. I just saw this after posting something similar....
about the sexual degradation/sexual violence committed as a method of torture.

Again,I say :puke:

Sick individuals.

4. Quite possibly. That's why injured parties don't run the law enforcement system
in this country. They could hardly be expected to be fair or objective.
