“So you really don’t think pressing charges against the officers is the proper thing to do. Better to sue for a bunch of money. Got it.”
Thats not what I said. Press charges against them but that won’t change training or policy. The politicians won’t care if some ‘out of control’ cop gets put in jail.
You said those charges won't go anywhere. If that's the case, why press charges?
You indicated that suing would punish the taxpayers for not paying enough attention to what their public servants are doing. It seemed you were implying that was the better option.
By the way, I didn't realize that spending taxpayer money in order to punish taxpayers was a conservative value.
