This is the kind of scenario where I personally can not even remotely fathom what is going through the heads of the people doing this.

Do they actually not care?

Are they "just doing their job"?

Do they get off on the power trip?

A bit of column A, a little column B?

They can't possibly see any of these people as a genuine physical threat to their person.

I refuse to believe they don't have the comprehension enough to understand their actions...

...but then how are they justifying it? What possible mental gymnastics are these people putting themselves through to attempt to justify this to themselves? To try and tell themselves they're doing the right thing?

Is it conformity? Everyone else on my team is doing this so I need to do this as well!

So they're simply spineless? They know what they're doing is wrong but refuse to speak out about it because it'll ostracise them?

Or they're thinking they need to conform to keep their jobs? Rocking the boat will damage their chances at promotion after all, or even cost them their jobs entirely!

So it's a societal thing? I'm a part of a group which ostracises the jobless and homeless and if I lose my job I'll be jobless and potentially homeless which means I'll be ostracised as well!

I would love to know, I would really love to know the thoughts going through these fuckers' heads as they tighten the zip ties around these people's wrists.

Ever been to an HoA meeting? Some small people get even a tiny drop of power and it goes right to their heads.
