My happy thought is that pigs who end up in prison are doomed to serve that time in protective custody, which usually means solitary.

We should imprison way more police so that they could be housed together. It'd be more humane that way.

It's always the ones you mist suspect.

The Goon Squad didn't operate in a vacuum. The whole police department needs a clean up.

Reynolds also said Opdyke was sexually assaulted as a child and had seen the older deputies as father figures, making him susceptible to the culture of misconduct within the Rankin County Sheriff's Office.

"When a new officer goes over there, they start indoctrinating people," Reynolds said. "Where is the true leadership? Why aren’t they in this court?”
