No points for originality.

There’s nothing like a law’n’order mis-administration to bring out the worst law enforcement tendencies like goon squads, quotas, shanty town prisons, no due process, and worst of all, no plan for what is to be done with the prisoners (who, by-the-by, have first hand testimony of your abuses and standing) ultimately calling for some final solution or another.

Worst idea ever.
