What do you mean here? People should understand that judges can behave this way because they are frustrated with certain elements of our crummy society? I would think judges should have free reign to kick whoever they want out of court such that they can conduct a smooth running, respectful, courtroom environment. But they should not be able to exact painful, punitive, detention at their whim. Holding someone in handcuffs for hours should be reserved for those that represent a physical threat or flight risk. Cuffs are not a punishing device.

You've never been in them obviously


No I havent. However, not sure what you meant. My point was that cuffs should not be used to intentionally make someone physically uncomfortable, or emotionally stressed. Especially without due process for the heinous crime of an untucked shirt. They ought to be used to detain flight risks or restrain knuckleheads from attacking, etc.

Whoa, my bad friend, I misread your comment, I agree with what you said just didn't understand the "cuffs are not a punishing device" part. They def. hurt, especially for someone with cancer like the OP. But now reading it again I think I get it ha laugh
