Mississippi Police Officer Pleads Guilty to Making Arrestee Lick Urine Off of Floor

Former Officer Michael Christian Green pled guilty to forcing an arrestee to lick his own urine off of the jail floor, after not allowing him to use a toilet.  This was a horribly violent, prolonged, and despicable attack on an immigrant.  I'm not sure how it was discovered, whether the man filed a complaint, a coworker of Green's, or command routinely reviewed the video.

AP:
"Michael Christian Green, 26, lost his job as a Pearl Police Department patrol officer in late December, four days after security cameras showed the violent encounter in Pearl, a suburb of the capital city of Jackson.

Green — who has a large cross tattooed on one arm and the word “Blessed” tattooed on the other — stood calmly before a federal magistrate judge Thursday and did not dispute any of the accusations read aloud by a federal prosecutor."

I'm glad they acted swiftly and firmly on this in terms of revoking his ability to work in law enforcement.  But he was only charged with a misdemeanor.  And how were there not more safeguards in place to prevent it happening in the first place?  How were there not more other personnel in the area to see what kind of thing he was doing and stop it?

Mississippi has serious problems, as we see from the recent "goon squad" sentencing.  America's "justice" system is so spotty, so variable from one place to another.  A lot of things never come to the light of day.

It was weird to me the way this Mayor mentioned, in another video, his personal religious beliefs as a reason that he couldn't understand Green's behavior.  Because Green has his Christianity tattooed on his arms.  And the Mayor wasn't doing what a lot of people in Mississippi demand Muslims, for example, do every time there's a terror attack, and denounce the bad people of their own religion.  No, he was just kind of baffled at how somebody could do such a thing, tsk tsk.  I think America would be better off overall if we really did have separation of church and state.  I think that would be better even if that makes the Christians uncomfortable, checking their personal values at the door and just going strictly by the law.

I think as long as people think their personal feelings can come into their official decision-making, that America is about them and their personal values while they fulfill their municipal duties, we're screwed.
