The country has seen revelations about off-books police interrogation warehouses in the past.

A new lawsuit filed in federal court last month alleges that the Baton Rouge Police Department ran a “torture warehouse” where members of its Street Crimes Unit strip searched, beat, and otherwise humiliated people and then released them, often without their being charged with a crime. Soon after the lawsuit was filed, the FBI opened a civil rights investigation into the allegations of misconduct at the now-shuttered warehouse known as “the BRAVE Cave.”

    I think it’s more like democrats didn’t want to pass 5% police reform because if they do, republicans will use that to prevent any further reform from ever happening. It will be a combination of

    1. “We already did police reform and the problems solved” OR
    2. “See, police reform doesn’t work”

    So I can see why they want to hold out for a better solution. And it’s not like the police aren’t doing everything to prove the democrats right on a daily basis so the dems case just gets stronger and stronger the more these cops out here fuck around and show who they really are and what they’re capable of.
