Jfc that's grim. I get that these kinds of things have gotten less shocking over time since it's all coming to light on a monthly or even weekly basis, but those cops didn't see those men as people at all.

It's fucking monstrous what the police were capable of doing, and I honest-to-god don't think any rehabilitation of their behavior is possible; they don't just deserve to be fired, they should be in jail for life.
