That is a lot of money for the cops to pay. That’ll learn them.
wait....
The taxpayers have to pay it??
How will that learn them cops anything??
and now you know why there are laws against filming or recording police officers...
My God. That would be attempted manslaughter if a civy did that.
Whats the big deal, watch the TV reality show “Cops” it happens every night on that show.
Let that rattle around in your head for a few. This wasn't some beat cop. It was a Police Commander, torturing suspects, lying about it under oath, later convicted and sentenced to four years in prison and they still can't strip him of his pension.
Who paid for his defense during the investigation and trial? The taxpayer.
Who pays for his incarceration? The taxpayer.
Who pays for his attorney to argue his case in front of the Pension Board? The taxpayer.
Who's going to pay this multi-million dollar settlement? You guessed it. The long suffering taxpayer.
These cases do nothing if not confirm the fact that we are a two-tiered society with our Government masters having every advantage. And even when they're convicted of serious crimes we will still have to pay them for the rest of their natural lives.
Seems fair to me. Not.
What chase? The guy was just standing there.
The poor guy threw his Bible on the ground before he got hit, too.
