Do remember, what you're reading is about incidents that have happened over many years, some times, and frankly, psychology of prisoners and wardens both become warped if not properly managed. In other words, shit happens, people do wrong, people get warped.
A nice old man we once talked to had a son who became a police officer. His son came home one day and was talking about "niggers". His father was horrified, and said that he never raised his son to speak that way (they were not white, btw), and that the police department warped him. On the other hand, the police are on a battle field. One drawn up by politicians AND voters. Personally, I can't give blame without taking it. We create a situation where a large part of the population that are actually encouraged to stay down, and then give them an easy way to make money by being hideous to each other. I blame all politicians on both sides for this situation. I have no answers but I'm not going to say the police are all evil, they mostly actually save lives and try to create relationships and do the job, mostly. Then psychology, fear, power, people hating on them, etc... it can crush a mind that isn't strong enough or doesn't have proper support.
It's easy to blame one side, but the truth is much more complex. Perhaps Crypto Currency will actually even things out in the 1st world as well as the 3rd? Lets hope so! Any young man without a future will be lured to do all kinds of evil, and ripe pickins for psychopaths to manipulate. Best thing we can do for our youth is give them productive outlets, a possible future and hope. But that's hard to deliver.
