    This is the problem when we ‘win’ lawsuits like this.

    The money doesn’t come out of the pockets of the police or the politicians who are doing wrong; the taxpayers foot the bill.

    I’m saying not to sue, I’m saying we need to change the way people are held responsible.

      Eh, if the government fucks up then it has to pay, the taxpayers should pressure the government to not fuck up again if they don’t like having to pay for making people whole

      The point here is that they and everyone else in the state has to correct their behavior now and one person was made whole.
