Thugs in Ohio considered a mother and children at a swimming pool a menace to the public. The mother was merely arrested, but one 12-year-old girl in a bathing suit got pepper sprayed and several of her bones were broken.

As usual, the thugs made false accusations against the victims.

There have been only 9 days this year when US thugs didn't kill anyone, but there are no official statistics about many vital questions about violence by thugs.

Unjustified killings by thugs are extreme cases of police brutality. Lesser levels of violence are far more common, and represent similar attitudes and habits. Thus, we can change thugs' attitudes and habits more effectively by punishing the more frequent lesser incidents.

Perhaps we should apply "broken bones" policing to the thugs, or even "broken word" policing by punishing them when they make false accusations against their victims.
