The California Highway Patrol agreed to pay $10 million to a mother after a jury found two of its officers violated her son's constitutional rights by shooting him nearly 45 times and paralyzing him, even though he was high on methamphetamine, armed with a gun and later convicted of assaulting police, stealing a car, hit-and-run and DUI.

‘With love and gratitude’: Funeral set for Baldwin Park officer killed in line of duty

WTAF?!!!!!!
Two words:
“Range time”
He was just turning his life around...
This is an outrage that the 10 million is not even going to the man who was shot and paralyzed. It is going to his mother because he died/
***** Her armed meth head son (who was doing a suicide by cop) is worth more to her dead, than alive.
“by shooting him nearly 45 times and paralyzing him,”
Only hit one time. At that by the cop spraying through the wall.
Correction—
Methhead’s Mama will get about 7 million dollars after the scumbag lawyers get their cut
That’ll buy lots of meth...
The linked article is an interesting read:
Cho began firing at Gold and as she backed out of the bathroom entrance, she fell to the ground, police said.
Weaver, hearing the shots and seeing Cho fall to the ground, began firing through the wall of the bathroom, believing that his partner had been shot, police said.
From a distance of less than five feet away, Cho shot 16 times and missed every shot, Gold’s lawyers said.
She put bullets in the ceiling, the floor, the Jacuzzi and various windows in different parts of the house.
Weaver began firing through walls, shooting 28 times without knowing what was on the other side of the walls, Gold’s attorneys said.
We need a law that says if you're found guilty of committing a crime you can't sue for what happened to you while you were committing that crime.
“”From a distance of less than five feet away, Cho shot 16 times and missed every shot, Gold’s lawyers said.

40 shots rang out
40 people fell
They completely missed each other
But they shot the town to hell
Cow Patty
Cho is female as in Kristi Cho. This CHP duo fired wildly like out of a movie. Cho missed all 16 shots while her male partner was firing through the bathroom wall.
Like they do in the movies.

Stylish!
CHP officer Kristi Cho fired 16 times missing on every shot. She had never cleared a house before.
How did she get hired and make it through training? How are CHP officers trained these days?
Without warning, Gold reached behind the shower curtain, grabbed a loaded semiautomatic .45 caliber model 1911 handgun, and pointed it at Cho, police said.The handgun had a live round in the chamber, the thumb safety was off, and the hammer was cocked.
Had Gold pulled the trigger, the firearm would have fired a round at Cho who was standing six feet away.
This is outrageous. What TH was she supposed to do? Take a bullet? Sacrifice her life for this criminal?
Probably on his way to sign up for classes. /s
Who’d want the job? They’re not “our finest” anymore.
The entire situation is a cluster-fxxk. Both of those uniformed idiots need to never again be police officers of any sort.
Raise a good kid, have him join a branch of the service, die while defending his country, get a folded flag.
Raise a worthless methhead , have him die while committing a crime, get $10 million dollars.
Maybe they teach the “spray and pray” method at the academy for DEI hires.
