Quote of the Day
“It's just morning, noon and night of pure hell and torture," the man, who did not want to be identified, told 5 Investigates. "I get discipline. I get the whole aspect. But not hazing. Not making somebody feel like a piece of scum," he said. "You're not just weeding out the weak people. You're weeding out the good people.”
As the investigation into the death of a state police trainee intensifies, 5 Investigates has learned that nearly 100 recruits dropped out of the current class.
