    Its also important to note they are striking right as the NY correction officers that flagrantly murdered Robert brooks with zero provocation were arrested.

    That brutal murder, with 18 people involved, was done so casually that the governor is enforcing body camera usage for every inmate interaction, and a 400 million dollar spend to add cameras that cover all of the spaces inside NY prisons.

    They are also striking because they won’t be able to beat and murder people anymore.

      Yeah, the accountability stuff is actually in the HALT act.

      So it’s as much about them wanting to torture and murder people, as it is about them not feeling like they should be held accountable for it
