- 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.

If they "proved their case", then why did they settle for amount far, far below what their case would have been worth if it had actually been proven?
You prove your case in court, not by taking a check.
