These are the exact same people who would happily abuse Trumps rights if ordered to. They won't face consequences.
THIS is the nation you are defending. No better than the old Soviet system.
Some of these people were surely just being held awaiting trial, not even guilty yet.
Is this what Americans want to support? Do you understand the ramifications for a nation that operate in this manner? It is defiance of Judeo-Christian values. A defiance of those who died for our freedoms.

If the inmates on Unit 8F had any doubt why they had just been subjected to a violent, mass strip search by the jail’s internal riot squad days after an inmate on a different wing punched a guard, one of the leaders of the riot squad made it clear to them.
“There will be no more assaults,” said Correctional Officer Jason Martell, standing in front of a phalanx of heavily armoured guards as he addressed a group of Maplehurst inmates, now locked back in their cells. “We will come back and strike you. We will do this all week. Do you hear me? All week.”
Martell’s warning is one of the only pieces of video with audio that the province’s internal investigators were able to access from the December 2023 crackdown on inmates.
There should be hours of audio-video footage covering the entirety of the two-day operation at the Milton jail. But jail officials told investigators most of the footage was lost due to “technical” issues with the hand-held video camera used by the riot squad, known officially as the Institutional Crisis Intervention Team (ICIT).
The province’s internal investigation of the incident, which the Star obtained through a court order, includes allegations that some video footage was destroyed to dispose of incriminating evidence. The ministry’s investigators were “unable to substantiate” those allegations.

Hours of audio and video evidence is missing from Maplehurst guards’ crackdown on inmates
The missing footage, which some jail staff allege was purposely destroyed, has fueled calls for a public inquiry into the violent incident.
