Quit to avoid being fired? If I ran a "secret torture warehouse" I'd think being fired was just the start of my problems

We need legislation that allows post-resignation firing for wrongdoing so this tactic stops working.

Or as an alternative, legislation that allows for prosecuting people for kidnapping and torture. I would think that already exists but I might be wrong

Dude needs to be taken to an off-the grid-location and beaten.

The cops have investigated themselves and found no wrong doing.

If police are just common thugs, then what good is it to even have them around?

Yeah that's not common thug behavior. That's quite a bit worse
