We have indeed learned quite a bit in the last few days. Officer Panteleo has already had two lawsuits brought against him in the last two years. Charges against the defendants in both cases have been dropped, one lawsuit paid out $30,000 for Panteleo’s abusive behavior, and one lawsuit is still pending.

Panteleo has become quite a liability to the city of New York. This lawsuit for killing Garner is gonna be a doozy, I predict.

What's Officer Panteleos next job going to be, I wonder? Mall security?

Defendants sue the police all the time.

It's a cottage industry.

If the case against him was strong, they wouldn't have settled for a measly $30K - that figure tells me that the plaintiff was pretty certain he couldn't win in a trial.

$30K and a dismissal is way cheaper than getting a exoneration at trial. The settlement saved the city money.

Anyone can make predictions.

It's quite obvious he did not "kill" Garner, and it's pretty hard to win a pricey wrongful death suit when there is no homicide indictment.

I read about it. Now he's going to have 3 charges resulting in lawsuits on his record all for criminal abuse. Funny how wideawake neglected to bring that up while attempting to discredit the dead victim.

From 3 separate defendants...2 of which the city already dropped the charges against..

Funny it turns out the cop Panteleo seems to be more dangerous than the man they killed.

Another cop abusing individuals under color of authority...Treating them like some foreign enemy.

Did wideawake make all the expected excuses for the cops background while attempting to discredit the dead victim?
