Brickbat: Big Boss Man

Former Clayton County, Georgia, jailer Jabin Bethea pleaded guilty in federal court to violating a pretrial detainee's civil rights. While transferring detainees between housing units, Bethea argued with a man who cursed at him, then slammed the detainee's head into a wall, threw him on the floor, and ordered him to put his hands behind his back. Surveillance and body-camera footage show the detainee lying on the floor, obeying orders, yet Bethea tased him at least six times. Bethea is scheduled for sentencing in 2026.

...Jabin Bethea pleaded guilty in federal court to violating a pretrial detainee's civil rights.

Nice of prosecutors not to pile on assault and other charges (unless they did to get the plea, in which case I'm switching sides).

But at least the guy had the decency to remove the cuffs before going at him. More considerate than most.
