An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. But, I don’t feel too much empathy for the way a group of cops will get treated in prison for a crime like this.

I’ll have empathy for any sentient being that is suffering anytime or place. So you might be imagining them “getting their ass beat” just like “they did to their victims”. Would you be willing to shatter a jaw breaking teeth or just okay when others do it? You quoted scripture than sound like a psycho. Suffer for suffer makes the world suffer.

If the person they tortured was family/friend?

Fucking happily, pal. Happily. Especially given the fact that they held a badge while they did it.

Happily.
