Oh for fuck’s sake!
It is irrelevant whether the man was tied with the rope or the rope was “clipped to his handcuffs”. It was demeaning, humiliating, dangerous, and probably illegal. How is that not malicious?
And Galveston police? The only “scenario” in which that behavior is an “acceptable technique” is catching runaway slaves. Which is exactly what came to mind the instant I saw that picture.
Disgusting and shameful…
