      One of the most barbaric videos I've ever seen. Something is broken in those officers' brains that can never be fixed.

      If you ever get to the point in your life where you willingly commit an act like that then there is only one way left to dispose of yourself, and you should hope it's less terrifying and painful than what happened to Kelly Thomas.

            Yeah, the libs have usually only seen the movie or at most the musical. Hugo deliberately makes Javert the Best Cop Possible. He's a half-Romani that grew up in a prison and devotes his entire life to serving the law as honestly as possible, to the point that he's despised by his fellow cops for being non violent and corrupt. He never assaults a single person, never draws a gun, always follows every rule a Police officer has to follow, and would never dream of turning off a body cam or destroying evidence. He sleeps, breaths, and eats his conception of justice, has no hobbies and no friends.

            And he's still the second worst bastard in the entire book, after the Thenardiers. Everything he touches leaves suffering and misery, because the system he upholds demands it.

        I think about the ending to In Bruges a lot and how the world would be a much better place if all cops abided by Harry's principles.
