Quite!
Missed a .380. Sounds like the search was just procedure and he was not really looking for anything.
Still, I don’t think the kid’s death is their responsibility. It’s not like he was a “first time offender” and it may be that the parents just want him to be their cash cow as his legacy.
The parents would not want me on the jury.
I don’t buy the term ‘missed’ in the frisking job of the arrest. Cops just don’t make that mistake. Maybe if this was a rookie cop....but if you tell me this is a 10-year veteran of the police department....I’m not buying the story.
The parents clearly did not raise him right, and now they want a payout, via blaming someone else for what their son chose to do to himself.
Austin's peaceful law-abiding citizens should sue Sayeed and Cara Anam for inflicting an entitled criminal upon them.
Why should a hardworking citizen of Austin have to pay out millions to attorneys and this mother and father (presumably) because they f’d up raising their son?
Part of the answer is Austin loves to settle a case. In nearly 50 years of being in or near this town, I’ve settled five lawsuits with them. The last was 3 jury trials where 3 different juries, all liberals one can safely presume, ruled for the conservative conservative developer (me) on the exact same subject. They finally gave up and I paid a hundred bucks to settle their bogus building permit claim (over a detention pond) which could have been millions against me.
While there is an occasional rogue Austin jury, many lawyers prefer going to trial in Austin on complex cases due to the fact that educated Austin liberals have demonstrated a higher level of discernment than rural counties.
In my case on the 3 jury trials over the same issue, a first grader could figure out what the City was up to. It was a complete no brainer...……….except for certain politicians pushing it.
