Yes. A multi million dollar award against the taxpayers does not punish the guilty party.
I agree. The woman has a legitimate complaint, and the officer should be punished severely. But a lawsuit for a huge monetary reward is just greed. This woman's lucky she didn't kill herself or someone else when she became unable to drive that day.
Who' the governor out there in Washington state? When someone who is a federal officer does something wrong, it is blamed on Bush. In this instance we must blame the governor, who controls the state of Washington. Given that we are talking about police misbehavior, I assume the governor is Republican (/sarcasm). Let the chips fall where they may.
Time for the taxpayers to reign in the tazer happy crew.
