Wingate has filed an administrative claim against the city for $750,000, and Mindenbergs said she is in the process of gathering public documents to prepare for a lawsuit within the next couple of weeks.The claim should be lodged against the police union pension funds.

The cop could see that based on terrain, the old fool clearly should have been using a 9 iron.

Another little tin god cop who ought to be an unarmed meter maid. Just another example of why law abiding folks are learning to hate cops.

The claim should be lodged against the police union pension funds. And against the "officer" personally.

The COP is LGBT, nothing to see here.

My guess is that she's already been called on the carpet... so to speak.

Back in May 1989 two Hayward cops, a rookie and her FTO, beat a blind man because they mistook his collapsible cane for a Nunchaku. They never ID’ed themselves as cops because they assumed he could see. His milky white eyes never figured in to their highly trained powers of observation.
The blind guy thought he was being mugged and attempted to ward off the batons. Once bystanders screamed that he was blind the cops id’ed themselves and everything calmed down. A big oops on the cops part.

Her ex-girlfriend cop is also a piece of work. They both are seriously ethically challenged. The LE selection process in these two agencies are more driven by affirmative action than quality.

Same Seattle officer who, in 2010, shot and killed the half-deaf tribal Indian man carving a block of wood with a small knife and not threatening anyone?

I never walk around my ghetto without my 9 iron
9 may be alright for some but I use a .45 iron.
