...Big jury award FOR Floyd protesters....

[Chillicothe]

There's a nearby thread about 'Pissin' Off the Police'.
In it there are exchanges about police acting badly, the public acting badly.

Both do.
Too much.
And to mega-tragic results, witness the deaths, injury and damages sparking off of the George Floyd public murder.

We saw how Floyd was murdered.
And we know why many....the vast majority....of the protesters protested.
The black community had just experienced a rash of these unarmed-black-man-killed-by-white cops and was pretty sensitized to what they perceived as an injustice.
And then Floyd. And that cam video. And the insouciance of the murderer.
KABOOM!!
More and greater tragedies resulted.

So I read with interest this AP newsfeed this afternoon where a court held that these police over-reacted to the protesters. Egregiously so. And a steep price tag was affixed to the incident ....and to the city and its' insurers.

$14M jury award for protesters could resonate around US

Associated Press

Denver — A federal jury’s $14 million award to Denver protesters hit with pepper balls and a bag filled with lead during 2020 demonstrations over the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis could resonate nationwide as courts weigh more than two dozen similar lawsuits.

The jury found police used excessive force against protesters, violating their constitutional rights, and ordered the city of Denver to pay 12 who sued.

Nationwide, there are at least 29 pending lawsuits challenging law enforcement use of force during the 2020 protests, according to a search of the University of Michigan’s Civil Rights Litigation Clearinghouse.

The verdict in Denver could give cities an incentive to settle similar cases rather than risk going to trial and losing, said Michael J. Steinberg, a professor at the University of Michigan Law School and director of the Civil Rights Litigation Initiative. It could also prompt more protesters to sue over their treatment at the hands of police.

“There’s no doubt that the large jury verdict in Denver will influence the outcome of pending police misconduct cases brought by Black Lives Matter protesters across the country,” said Steinberg, whose law students have been working on a similar lawsuit brought by protesters in Detroit.

Fuck the rioters because that is what they were.

Expect the court at minimum to lower the stupid jury's award if not completely toss it out.

What these leftoid legal minds want is obvious, the ability to riot, loot, and destroy at will with no consequences.

Cool, just more incentivizing senseless violence. Ain't Democrat leadership great?

Well, no, since the cocksucking forensics experts were bought, we in no way define it as simply murder. The bitch was sick, apparently eluding you. Your next fentanyl problem is forthcoming. Apart from China looking making connections in Latin America, Africa and elsewhere, Chinese fentanyl is also a weapon against American DNA that helps to accelerate the collapse, costing a mere $15 a day, replacing heroin.

Cops fined for doing their jobs?


Bullshit.

 

[Chillicothe]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK, f**k the "rioters". Whatever that means.
However, not all protesters to Floyd's murder rioted.

The vast vast majority of them went to a march, or a downtown speech simply to signify that they too were offended by yet another unarmed black man being killed by white police......and egregiously so by Chauvin. They simply wanted our governance and our law enforcement to know that things must change, that citizens are dissatisfied with the current situation. That's all that they wanted to express.

Some vandals and dicks and karens caused damage. And many of them --10,000?....of them were arrested, many prosecuted and convicted. About a dozen or so in my own community were (btw, they were all white guys and gals from the suburbs). Good. Lock 'em up....or fine them appropriately.

But it seems in this case, without reading the actual trial transcript, the police here acted above and beyond their proper role. They brutalized people who may have simply been carrying a sign, or standing and cheering.....never threatening the police, each other, or property. They were legitimate protesters and they got smacked or assaulted for no reason other than the police were angry, or mistaken, or negligent.

As far as the comment --"leftoid minds want to riot, loot and destroy," well, is silly and not fitting for a mature adience on a web chatroom. Take that sillines to 'Truth Social' or a QAnon site, or InfoWars. We are adults here and expect adult discourse.

IMHO

 

[Chillicothe]

Cops fined for doing their jobs?

No.
The cops were not fined.

Here, read this, from the OP: "The jury found police used excessive force against protesters, violating their constitutional rights, and ordered the city of Denver to pay 12 who sued."

The city was found responsible (liable?) for the poor behavior by some of their officers. And in such matters the city has an obligation to make it as right as money can make such things right.

The city and the police have the responsibity to uphold order. And when disorder...rioting occurs.....the police are charged with enforcing laws...sometimes violently enforce.....against the miscreants. And only the miscreants.

And NOT to club, shoot, swat, or take-down anyone who happens to be standing on a corner or even giving them the finger. The police may have been angry, surpised, negilgent.....but none of that gives them a protected right to violently abuse people who are not breaking laws.

$14 million for pepper balls? What if the cops kill someone who was unarmed and never made any threats? What if they shot a woman they could have easily arrested instead?

Well, the good poster T'Bird offers us a 50-week old story from Fox News about the heirs to the Ashli Babbitt estate suing one government agency or another.

OK. Kind of old news, but it's not wrong to remind us.

So, good poster T'Bird.....how is that suit proceeding?

Now that you've re-introduced it as a topic of this thread....can you give us an authoritative update?

Batter up, mon ami.

 

[Chillicothe]

The J6 Protestors should sue the Capitol Police

I quite agree.
And just to expedite the matter for all following plaintiffs ...... the first to sue should be those that have either plead guilty or been convicted by a jury.

If those blokes can win their suits it should be easy-breezy for the follow-alongs. No?
