Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
It's really important to remember that if it were legal, US police would STILL be torturing people. The CIA is still torturing people today when there are no consequences. There is no reason to give law enforcement any benefit of doubt of good intent when it comes to interrogations.
This is part of why I hate that JCS channel. His videos have millions of views and the vast majority of them are just regurgitating these Reid tactics like they're some sort of scientific fact when they absolutely are not.
This shit is like new age medicine for fascists.
Adding this from another post of mine because there's people out there that will continue to believe JCS is anything other than just some dude watching interrogation videos and regurgitating pseudoscience bullshit:
"Hindsight allows us to recognize this is simply an attempt to appear innocent."
"The refusal to accept food and water is a familiar response which you may have already seen on this channel. It's a glaring manifestation of shame."
"The sharp and sudden change of angle from baseline questioning to confrontation would normally make an innocent person refute or, at least, challenge the statement. There would also be a brief pause as they would need time to process the allegation due to its perplexity."
And I found these in just a few minutes of looking through his videos. These sorts of bizarre statements are littered throughout his videos, their basis backed up by nothing except his word. It's incredibly frustrating.
These people are (presumably) guilty but that does not make these statements any less full of shit. Just because we get an endorphin rush from seeing what we perceive as guilty people getting their comeuppance doesn't mean we can just use "hindsight" and invented reasoning to justify it or the interrogator's actions.
Also need to mention that this is the dude that writes all of the JCS videos. He hires a voice over artist to voice all of them. I am not aware of him having any sort of degree or qualifications in Criminal Psychology, Behavioral Science, or Social Science despite the JCS channel's about including all three of those in its description.
