Incarceration is an assault upon the person as much as a beating is - and incarceration usually involves plenty of beatings, regardless.
- tptacek 4y agoNo, it is not the case that a police officer, observing a larger adult assaulting a smaller one (or any other permuation), is authorized to beat the assailant in retribution. If such an attack by a police officer was recorded on a bodycam, the current state of play in most of the US would end up with the officer fired, and a (likely unsuccessful) prosecution to follow.
- vidarh 4y agoThis is an argument for a reform of an abusive justice system, not for adding additional forms of abuse.
