TORTURE PORN

Censored dog attacks upon Iraqi prisoners
stacked in obscene positions by smiling guards
Our comparisons Nazis.Our CIA waterboarding.
Torture reports redacted .Cameras banned from prisons.
TSA shakedowns of children/elderly on YOUTUBE
Pepper spray and TAZERS @Universities.
Value clash?or agents voluntary? Plato's REPUBLIC
would ask"who polices the police?" Tweets
and digital pix of police brutalities stack high
No jury convicts even with eyewitnesses
Civil actions,sometimes discipline,rarely suspension
USE OF FORCE as per regulations-
still the shooting of children/civilians
No video turned on.No repercussions.
OCCUPY folk brutalized.Reporters assaulted/arrested.
Rule of Law exempts those authorized DEADLY FORCE.
Osama murdered on video-same with Gaddafi and Hussein
All the images of Syria/Iran/North Korea will not change
military dictatorships to civilian oversight.Even if you do not watch
you know one of us is being tortured tonight.Who is next?
