I think Titus is a loser and have no compassion for him, but having said that, that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. I assure you it does not take that kind of a show of force to move one man. No wonder the prison systems are over budget, it takes eight guy's two hours to gear up to move one man. What a bunch of pussies. Haha.
Let me also say this and I don't care who it pisses off. If your in any type of LE and you do gear your a hypicrit of the worst kind. Either quit one or the other, you can't be a man of honor and do both.
Its not about being scared or being a pussy it is policy and policies are set in place so that if something were to happen there is a plan.
Its more for the inmates safety to have that many people there than the Officers, because one Officer may have a chip on his shoulder. So having that many people keeps everyone in line, especially if they know they are on camera. Jails/Prisons are a different place, and if you have never worked in one a lot of the things that happen look bad on camera.
Go work in a Jail/Prison and you will understand why there is a need for policies as such. There are a lot of bad dudes in places like that, and they are why security measures like that are put into place. If you are housed with those guys in the same type of secure unit, then the same security measures are going to take place. Except had Craig Titus been resisting, there would have been shouting of orders, and it would have been a lot quicker, not as relaxed, there would be screaming, the inmates would be screaming, it would have been an entirely different scene.
Say you are in Max and policy states that when you are out of your cell you are to be in full restraints and considered a 2 man concept. 2 man concept meaning that anytime hes out of his cell it is required that 2 Officers are always present when dealing with him. So a kid who weighss 110lbs gets put in max, hes not violent just stupid. The same security measures have to be taken. It will boost his ego and make him feel like a bad ass, and it will make the Job of the Detention Officer/Corrections Officer that much harder and time consuming because they have to get him ready to come out. Its irritating, but it has to happen. Otherwise if you become complacent, and you dont feel the need to put him in full restraints, or deal with him one on one. Then thats when the shit hits the fan and people get hurt.
You may not understand it, but thats the way it is. It has nothing to do with being a pussy, it has everything to do with safety and security.
