A thug to me is any bucket headed, no necked moron who is muscle for hire and never thinks beyond that job description. That doesn't apply to teenagers in the street.
The originals, the thugee, were a criminal gang in India.

Police who act like criminals are thugs, no matter their race.
Criminals,who hurt people are thugs.
