I am normally against lawsuits - but this one BEGS to be filed - and I would imagine that MANY lawyers would LOVE to get their hands on this one - This could literally be a multi-million dollar suit. And it really would serve Best Buy and the local PD right. I just hate that taxpayers would have to pay for any judgment against the cops.
Absolutely INSANE.
I would deduct any award given from the net pay of every police employee and retire. At least $50 a week until the judgment is payed.
