My feelings about the police are well known on this forum. My feelings are a result of personal interactions between myself and other family members with the cops. It will be a cold day in h*ll before I ever ask for their help.....

That said, my mother always said, "Two wrongs don't make a right". While I certainly don't approve of his actions, I don't believe prison staff allowing other inmates to beat on him is right either. He should be able to serve his time without worrying about his own personal safety.

My two cents...
