City says it doesnt have the money so........the tax payers will receive a one time fee of $180 for a average home price of $55,000. I said before, if you want to make everyone stand up to police brutality send all the residents an invoice for their amount. Everyone would join the marches and protests.....now this...

City Taxing Residents To Pay $1.4M Settlement In Dashcam Beating Case

Inkster, Michigan, property owners will see the one-time tax increase on their July bill, the city said this week. For the owner of a home worth $55,000, it will amount to about an extra $180, according to the Detroit Free Press.

The funds collected from the summer millage are expected to fully cover the settlement in the civil suit brought by Floyd Dent, a Detroit auto worker who was hospitalized for three days in January because of injuries he sustained during an Inkster traffic stop.

The city has previously collected one-time taxes to pay settlements in the last few years, though Dent’s is the largest.

When officers pulled Dent over, they pointed a gun at him, forced him to the ground, kicked him and used a Taser on him, as shown in a dashcam video. Former Officer William Melendez, who is seen in the video repeatedly punching Dent in the head,choked him until he couldn't breathe, Dent claims.
