A surfer who was hurt when a Los Angeles-area police officer rammed and shot up his truck during the manhunt for cop-turned-killer Christopher Dorner will receive $1.8 million.

...

The 38-year-old Perdue was on his way to surf in February 2013 when a Torrance officer mistook his pickup for Dorner’s, rammed it and riddled it with bullets. Perdue wasn’t shot but suffered head and spine injuries.

They have been adjudged by their respective D.A.’s for the totality of the situation and their actions were justified.

......adjudged by their respective D.A.’s for the totality of the situation and their actions were justified.

They must be 007 cops with a license to kill.

what happened to the two women, mother and daughter delivering newspapers, that had their SUV shot full of holes by panicky cops? The mother was seriously wounded and the daughter unscathed. What kind of settlement did they get? They should have owned the city for that trigger happy episode. The women’s vehicle was the WRONG color! Were the cops color blind as well as trigger happy?

[Robert Teesdale]

"And yet the ‘good’ cops remain silent to what is going on. They want us to support them, but they won’t support us against the thugs, morons, cowards, and criminals among them. They will always choose Team Blue over right and wrong."

The prior professed need for support of the citizenry is no longer necessary where they no longer consider themselves part of the People, but rather dominant overseers of human cattle.

not calling you on it as much as pointing out they shot up more then one vehicle... and STILL nobody lost their job

They feared for their lives...

The Police won’t pay a thing.

This was the story where LEOs mistook a blue Toyota pu for a grey Nissan Titan pu in broad daylight.

This is a different case.

[jjotto]

Kinda. Same manhunt. This was a few hours after the blue pickup incident. I haven’t seen a description of surfer dude’s vehicle.

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

Not kinda. This guy was driving a Honda.

[MaxMax]

I can't get over the fact that he could've had a hostage and they shot the center
and passenger sides. Even worse, that was the wrong truck.

[MaxMax]

And when the SHTF they’ll all be home protecting their own ignoring their oath of duty.

[FBD]

"Understandable. It had 4 tires, a grill and windshields - just like Dorner's vehicle."

-An easy mistake when you're all jacked up on adrenaline and steroids...
Civilians all look alike too.

[MrEdd]

And, as the taxpayers have it within their power to reign in their local gendarmerie they fully earned the monetary loss.

[Chode]

LOLOL!!! just damn...

[FreedomPoster]

Ah yes, it was one of those Hondas that does not even remotely resemble the regular-pickup-appearance of the Nissan that was the subject of the hunt.

You’d think cops would know vehicle recognition as a condition of their job.

[Chode]

SURE... Likely Story!!! POWPOWPOW bang shoot ACKACKACK pow bang BUDDABUDDABUDDA ACKACKACK bang pow shoot BURRRRRRRP... whoa Whoa WHOA, nice shootin Tex!

[FBD]

The Torrance police chief actually praised the cops for their *bravery* in ramming Perdues pickup. To this day, the Torrance police will not admit to any errors or wrongdoing in this case. Unbelievable.

[FBD]

They must be color blind too.
