Police torture teen after he takes LSD and end up killing him

Nothings wrong with me.

There's something wrong with most of us. The emotional response we produce when our children are in danger, when we read about horrible injustice like the case in question or acts of terrorism, we react in horribly irrational ways, such as wishing painful death upon others. It is indeed understandable - but it doesn't belong in a modern society. We're better than that, and we're better than these cops.

I understand that American police officers are absurdly immune to prosecution, as they are here in Norway (although to a far, far lesser extent). And, as I understand, the fact that the cops in question most likely wont receive an adequate sentence is a large part of the reason people are coming up with sadistic scenarios that rival those of ISIS and Mengele.
If we can agree that the reasoning behind these thoughts are purely based on taking revenge on the cops, then I'm sure we can also agree that they are wrong. Countries that have lower crime rates are most often countries that have humane judicial systems focused on rehabilitation and exacting human rights, with no human emotion integral to the case. And that includes even those we hate the most, because after all they are still human.
The problem lies in police corruption, which especially in a country like the USA, can't be fought by murdering police officers - even if that seems to be the only solution in the hopeless rage you feel when reading about the Dyers. It would open up for more problems and throw society down a hateful spiral of violence.

I suppose the root of the problem is the hard-coded allergy to regulation so many Americans have. Regulating drugs would, as we all here probably agree, be the most obvious solution. In the meantime, imposing more heavy regulation on the police would have tremendous effect - forcing them to divert their resources to educating their officers on how to deescalate situations, and if need be use force, but have the knowledge to sedate the suspect with Benzos instead of trying to beat them to silence. I don't have the solution, either. Just airing my thoughts on this horrible situation.
