“In agreeing to the settlement, the county and sheriff’s department admitted no wrongdoing in connection with the incident.”
Awesome, so the taxpayers pay off the settlement and the sheriff’s department faces no repercussions.
It’s almost like there’s a huge problem that isn’t being addressed
(I agree with you)
If covering protests for police brutality leads to police brutality, you live in a brutal police state.
That didn’t happen. And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. And if it was, that’s not a big deal. And if it is, that’s not my fault. And if it was, I didn’t mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.
Anyway, here’s 700,000. For the…you know…lack of us doing anything
The irony here is just too juicy.
In agreeing to the settlement, the county and sheriff’s department admitted no wrongdoing in connection with the incident.
It’s such bullshit that you can even do that! Especially in cases such as this where it’s crystal clear that they DID commit a shitload of wrongdoings that would have landed regular people in jail!
Police departments offer massive settlements because it never comes out of police budgets and if the case is settled then they never have to address the harm they continue to cause.
