Kobe Bryant’s widow was awarded $16 million as part of a $31 million jury verdict Wednesday against Los Angeles County for deputies and firefighters sharing grisly photos of the NBA star, his 13-year-old daughter and other victims killed in a 2020 helicopter crash.

So the citizens of LA County have to pay Bryant's widow millions. What did we do? Why are civil cases lotteries were if you are harmed by a vagrant no money for you. But if they work for LA County, Payday!!!

16 million for hurt feelings is assinine.

Boo-who-who-ing all the way to da Bank!
Don’t be Blue.
Wipe those tears away with another fistfull of $100. Dollar Bills.

Cheated on, humiliated by her husband, and a multi millionaire, yet she is suffering. What nonsense.

[Tax-chick]

On the one hand, bosh about her trauma. On the other hand, the deputies and firefighters shouldn’t have “shared grisly photographs,” DUH!

[algore]

A little confused.

I was led to believe that all kinds of cameras, automated license scanners, and ring doorbells are fine.

Sometimes people even claim there should be Cop Bodycams.

Why the double standard here? I do not remember this with some brit princess that died in a crash

[TheDon]

What were they thinking?

Horrifying.

[dainbramaged]

Pretty sleazy sharing those photos like that, too much money in the settlement for sure. Hey, wanna see the tattooed and mutilated torso of an overpaid baller? I don't see the attraction.
Should have traveled by automobile instead of playing big shot.

There was one comical side to this tragedy …

Within hours of the crash, someone set up a GoFundMe page to raise money to buy Colin Kaepernick a helicopter. LMAO.

This widow is a criminal who no longer needs to participate in Macy lootings. Good for her!

[Gay State Conservative]

So the “alleged” rapist's family cashes in....as do their slimy lawyers.

[Tax-chick]

I agree.

[Churchillspirit]

In addition to the $3 million ring she got when he cheated on her.

[Yogafist]

Ridiculous.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Next stop: Rodeo Drive for "grief counseling".

[Theoria]

Government employees shared photos of dead children, parents and coaches. Nasty. Sheriff Alex Villanueva said he secured the site from such potential actions. He lied.

[Fungi]

They were not available online. Shared by whom?

Times like this I like to think of Kobe’s uncle;

Gore crime/other pics should be allowed entirely, from the red run 9/11 stuff they censored to beheadings.

It’s reality, there’s no excuse to shelter people so they’ll be more ignorant. Maybe some might decide not to go on helicopter flights, especially in foggy weather.

[Newtoidaho]

Taxpayers get screwed. Again. As usual.

[Yogafist]

How would the Sheriff have anything to do with that? I saw photos from a firefighter who repelled into the crash scene. He adamantly refused to send the photos to me so I could keep them or share them. People die all the time and photos are taken, I don’t see how this is worth millions.
