This is literal child abuse. Really how does any FBI agent or supervisor think this is a desirable outcome? What kind of people are they?

Oh thanks! At least the judge basically dismissed the case. Probably wouldn't have happened in the US.

But their excuses are insane. "Yeah this 13 year old kid with an IQ of 70... there was nothing anyone could have done differently!". I suspect this is more motivated by bullying or abelism, basically a type of fascism to shit on mentally sick people.

Our cops in Russia have been doing that for years as well. They groom whole groups of teens like that. Absolutely mental.

Humans have a state that is driven to hurt people. When a person who’s not a psychopath finds their self in that state, their first move is to find justifications for the damage they want to do. That’s how non-psychopaths indulge in the urge to hurt people.

Law enforcement, by being a profession that involves hurting people for the right reasons, lends itself very easily to providing justification for hurting people for the wrong reasons.

Thanks, this is an interesting explanation. Do you mean sadism? Or something slightly different, a need to see justice done, like "justice porn"? Or something like wanting to see some kind of order in the world through violence?

I think there is a very primitive drive in humans who want to "remove the weak link" and drive out the village idiot or "retard". An ugly reproductive strategy that helped the tribe to stay stronger which explains some impulses for bullying. This is of course unscientific speculation.

But I can imagine that impulse might have played a role to go after this autistic child.

Quick correction: This took place in Australia, not the United States or one of its territories.
