Thirty officers at a Southern California juvenile detention facility have been charged for their role in facilitating so-called "gladiator fights" between youth in their care.

For setting up "fight clubs" for juveniles in their care, I hope karma catches up to these 30 so-called correctional officers sooner than later.

The psychological line separating some officers in uniform from many prisoners is oftentimes well nigh imperceptible. Cops as thugs, thugs as cops really seems way too common.
