literally beside the ear. That is what happened to the guy. Besides this would have been a clear violation of 18 USC 113C Section 2340 US Anti-Torture Act
(1) "torture" means an act committed by a person acting under the color of law specifically intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or su ering (other than pain or su ering incidental to lawful sanctions) upon another person within his custody or physical control; (2) "severe mental pain or suffering" means the prolonged mental harm caused by or resulting from - (A) the intentional infliction or threatened infliction of severe physical pain or su ering; (B) the administration or application, or threatened administration or application, of mindaltering substances or other procedures calculated to disrupt profoundly the senses or the personality; (C) the threat of imminent death; or (D) the threat that another person will imminently be subjected to death, severe physical pain or suffering, or the administration or application of mind-altering substances or other procedures calculated to disrupt profoundly the senses or personality; ---- So this is a clear violation here.
