(3,891 posts)At that time, I went through a school run by the State, and they told us that if we had to use our batons (Night stick) on someone that the best thing to do was to tell any witnesses that the guy we had beaten was a child molester. Everybody hates a child molester, and that would change their opinion, and the way they reported the event.
Original version. "They beat that man half to death for nothing, I mean he was doing nothing."
After the Child Molester claim. "The bad man would not give up, he just kept fighting, and the security people were trying to get him to stop."
So if it was an unwritten rule, in common enough practice back in the 1980's, that they felt comfortable telling rent a cops, to do it, why would it have left the normal practice now?
I wish I could say that I was joking, or lying. But the guy who told me was a police officer who was teaching the course as a second job.
No, I never did it.
