"24" and Police Brutality

The show on the Fox network, “24” Represents something that our operational organizations do not condone. That thing is torture of apprehended suspects during interrogation. This is something that has not just happened just once, but several times on the show. The things that Jack Bauer (The main character of “24”) does to his suspects misrepresents the justice system’s way of interrogating possible suspects to a crime. This has become a problem due to that this behavior has become so glorified that interrogators are mimicking Bauer’s actions in their own body of work.

What happens on “24” is not interrogation; there are some people that would say that this is torture—I count myself as one of those people .Take for example a scene, when Jack comes into a interrogation room and shoots the suspect in the kneecap, promising another bullet if he didn’t talk. Of course; the guy tells Jack what he needs to know. Not only this, but they also get to the wife of a terrorist. At the time she was suffering from a gunshot wound, and of course she won’t say what needs to be known. So a member of Jack’s back-up squad sticks his thumb in the wound and twists around, demanding she talk if she wants him to cease.
