Hopefully he gets treated like every other prisoner, but you know he will get special treatment because of his situation. Those 5 days wouldn’t mean much if he had to mingle with the rest of the scum.

While part of me wishes that would happen to him, the rational side of me likes to believe that we aren't a cruel society. We should be better than the true evildoers that we deem necessary to lock away. That guy wouldn't stand a chance in the general population of a state pen... I've heard that more than one of those four officers have histories of misconduct/ and or brutality too. So yes; many an inmate would be salivating to get a shot a him/ them. Spending maybe the rest of or a good chunk of his life locked up will be plenty of punishment... Especially if a good chunk of it is isolated in solitary confinement... Which is cruel as hell too.

I'm not sure I've really addressed the main topic of the op. This is who Joe Burrow is. He's spoken up about the poverty in his neck of the woods (he didn't grow up that way either), he's taken sides on issues that shouldn't really be politicized, and he's fairly articulate. This won't be the last time we hear him pipe up about something... He's also not alone at the moment. Carson Wentz, Tom Brady, JJ Watt, and other white athletes have spoken out on this.
