28. yeah
and where are the voices of outrage?

Maybe they at the local level don't torture enough to cause permanent psychological damage or organ failure?

Or is it just that not enough know or care?

Tasers have caused death but does that qualify for Torture?

How far does it have to go before it's recognized as torture by enough people to demand it stop?

What is your definition of torture that local police depts. inflict?

A beating? Being tased? Or is it much worse that you know of?

Do you know of anyone in this country undergoing repetitious torture at the hands of police?

Do you know of anyone who suffers permanent damage due to govt. torture living in this country?

I bet not. Anyone like that would be silenced or thought to be crazy if they spoke about anything like that happening.

I've seen it happen right here on DU.
