No, not particularly. But the reason for opposing it is much broader than torture. My assertion that Soviet police tortured people is only to show that Soviet cops were not particularly better than American cops, which is where this whole argument started, if you look up the comment chain.
So you were just doing reddit contrarianism, got it.
If you want to actually assess Soviet vs. American policing the way to do it isn’t to find a (poorly sourced) example of Soviet police misconduct, because you can find endless examples of the same from American police. Instead, you’d have to look at how the police typically act(ed) in each country. You might start by looking for something to show Soviet police were armed with more military equipment than American police, for example, but you’d be looking for a while.
There are countless examples of U.S. police misconduct that was ordered by superiors, and plenty more that was done with their full knowledge and tacit approval.
I love that when I assert that Soviet police tortured people your response is to accuse me of wanting to burn the USSR to the ground for it, lmao.
…so you’re saying you supported the USSR?

“Misconduct is when police carry out the orders they’re given”
