I am normally not lawsuit happy. But in this case I hope they get awarded twice that amount and it comes right from the officers pocket.
A police officer who fabricates a crime against a citizen should be jailed for life.
Same with any corruption by officers.
AND I SUPPORT THE POLICE! MY SON IS ONE!
Unfortunately, some police officers do not take their oath seriously.
I’ll bet your son is a fine honest man who view his job as that of a servant to the public and not an overlord to them.
