In Poland some moron in surveillance center visually profiled a random guy as one wanted person (by jacket color), then police took the guy to the police station and beat him to death.

Wow. What an infuriating case, again and again. Only 2 years in prison for the perps because the court decided that "excited delirium" killed the guy and not being beaten and tased 4 times.

And some of the protestors that protested this got 4+ years. Clearly police property has more rights than a human being.

The guys who beat Rodney King faced zero justice, American prison guards pretty regularly do horrific things and face little repercussion, and the guys who executed Pretti were working the next day, until that led to backlash and now they are being systemically protected.

In some states in the US, it is not illegal for a cop to have sex with someone they have arrested. Ain't that just dandy.

The Polish situation could be an upgrade.
