A video posted in mid-September showing Iranian police officers beating and sexually harassing an arrested teenage boy has caused widespread outrage in Iran. Experts say such mistreatment of people accused of common crimes is frequent in Iran, but the footage provides rare visual evidence of what they describe as a recurring practice within the police force.

    If you let the police behave as if they are the courts and don’t prosecute them for crimes then this is how they will behave. It’s been proven time and again.

    I think they're trying to make a joke

    Jokes are supposed to have a kernel of truth in them. He's just straight up repeating Iranian state propaganda for the punchline

    no, kernels of truth is not required for a joke. I am not aware of Iranian propaganda. I was pointing out the irony that ICE uses guns to suppress protest, where Iran just violates people and jail them. In both scenarios lives are lost. You would benefit from calming down and asking questions instead of jumping to conclusions.

    I now see that you were making an ironic statement, but due to the anonymity of the internet you often cannot tell who’s being serious, disingenuous, or joking.

    I thought it best to point out the very real problems of Iran that Trump has only made worse.

    You also caught me after arguing with .ml fools so the snarkiness was high that day.

    no worries, the ml guys seem to just pick random fights for fun. I have had to ignore a few conversations, i refuse to feed the trolls. oddly, i learned more about Iran from this thread. authoritarianism is on the rise. People should know the crimes others are committing and trying to hide

    It was sarcasm, but I wasn’t aware of the deaths caused by the Iranian. Regardless, people with authority over others should not be abusing their powers.

    edit: not sarcasm, maybe irony is better way to phrase
