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.

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.

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

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'll tell you what else is a cottage industry. Police LYING UNDER OATH.

They do it all the time. Happened to my best friend, a church going guy who at age 64 never had anything on his record, not so much a speeding ticket. He's lost all respect for law enforcement in general. After the false accusations of hit and run were ( he bumped a tire on a parked car on a icy street) made against him, two thousand dollars in attorneys fees later, and a day in court later, he learned the hard way, that police only cover their own asses, at ALL cost, even to throwing innocent people under the bus.

Back to Panteleo.

The case was dropped, because Panteleo lied in an affidavit against two suspects in possession of some drugs.
The plaintiffs sued him and the city for lying, and they won when they proved their case, that Panteleo lied.
If Officer Panteleo had told the truth, they would like have lost the lawsuit.
in this pending case, the plaintiff is again charging that Panteleo lied, and "misrepresented facts"

The DA has already dropped charges against the plaintiff in the second case, , because Panteleo lied in an affidavit... Again.

So Panteleo is a liar and probably a sociopath, among other things.

One of the past cases was dropped, because Panteleo lied in an affidavit against two suspects in possession of some drugs.

Hey wideawake, why was this lying cop not fired?

Ya think maybe his corrupt police union backed him?

Why the double standard wideawake?
