Deputy Caught on Camera Shattering Wheelchair Bound Man’s Dentures While Beating Him To A Pulp

Shockingly, not only did this department fire the unhinged officer, they showed complete transparency in not only issuing a full statement, but also releasing a four and a half minute long video of the incident.

Incarceration is only a fraction of the punishment.
The abuse that happens inside the prison compounds the punishment.

 

What an unjust society we live in.

Florida has a horrible history – up to present day.

 

Going to prison is a death sentence for some people.

Why I Cried Today

 

Last night was surreal. I tweeted about it seconds after it happened, when I was back safely inside my home. I can’t say as I felt that my life was threatened, but I was made to feel startled, scared, upset, like I was a criminal, and totally creeped out.
