It always makes me wonder it only takes few minutes to ruin someones life but years to fix them mistakes and make it right again!

NO IMMUNITY FOR COPS, JUDGES, PROSECUTORS, AND POLITICIANS PERIOD!!!!

[lmartin]

Taxpayers are footing the bill. End qualified immunity and make the persons involved pay instead

[Davidsavage]

The people are not the problem.
Qualified immunity needs a revision .

[tomc.]

It is a shame that citizens must bring lawsuits against government officials because otherwise, these officials will never do the right thing.

[IAMTHEBIGCHUCQUITA]

When the individual officer's can be sued is when we the people will see a change!

[twwtjohns]

The cop who caused all of this by lying in the first place simply resigned.

[JustalilJaded]

We need to start making the COPS PAY FOR THESE LAWSUITS NOT THE TAXPAYERS...

[amieldanugrao]

I agree 💯% let the city pay and remove their benefits so that nobody follows their bad ways.😉let that be a loud example. Innocent and law abiding people should not be treated like this. 🤨

[bertoa]

As long as qualified immunity exist this will never stop

[benjaminvinas]

The lawsuits are not the only answer. JAIL 'EM

[mr.davidmarkin]

When Citizens sue the Police, they are paying themselves out of the Citizens money (taxes). Citizens need to start attaching themselves to the individual cops Pensions instead!

If you don't hold them accountable, they will let this type of behavior happen Every time sue their balls off.

[anthonyramsey]

The pig that lied on him should never be allowed to be a cop ever again anywhere

[augurcybernaut]

I do not understand making TAX PAYERS pay millions helps anybody.😢

[notsoinvisiblelibra]

Next step... go after their pensions!!!!

[wildcat]

Get these criminal gang members off the streets!!! 6 weeks training is not enough to hold the power to ruin someone’s life

[ChristopherSibert]

This is why it's just not worth it to get involved in a street fight, even if you are trying to break it up.

[Buoyant_Thoughts]

They will never be held accountable. Who do you think pays for the lawsuit
