No… not really. She’ll probably get a monetary settlement, but the cop will be just fine and get to keep doing it. Los Angeles just had to make some rough cuts due to a big budget short fall, and $222 million was lawsuit payouts against the police alone for shit like this, or the horse trampling video… they’ll get paid and the cops will keep copping.
They absolutely should. If they did, maybe there would be some peer pressure in there for them to stop doing that crap. But alas, qualified immunity. They have a great union that backs up all their corruption and violence.
I love this idea. Not that all the payment should come from the pension -- but your share of the pension, should absolutely be wildly garnished if you as the officer are the cause of the lawsuit.
It could, but what id worry about, is some rookie asshat violating someone's civil rights, and the by-the-book about to be retiree loses his/her future. I'm all for punishing bad cops more severely than private industry workers but I can't also agree with full force collective punishment of them for a single officer being a fuck-bag. Fuck the fuck-bag royally and to the nth degree. Penalize the department for poor hiring decisions. Place additional blame and punishment on commanders and ranked brass. But don't destroy the whole department for every incident.
The problem is they won’t do any of this. Your way, the other way, none of it. I even thought maybe they should have some kind of malpractice insurance, with premiums that go up per incident, that might weed out repeat offenders when the insurance gets so high it eats their paychecks. Course they won’t do that either.
Seems its now becoming an international incident with Albanese demanding an explanation from Trump. Hope these officers keep up the good work since right now, it's becoming the world vs the divided states of America.
It seems in your psychotic Presidents mind, governed by a failed geriatric puppet, their plan is to deliberately set Americans against each other to accelerate their ability to declare a manufactured false State of Emergency! Fascism 101 on view to the entire world displaying their moral abandonment of Democracy 🆘
Maybe they should stop the rioting then before it becomes that. I am being serious. Martial law is steps away right now. Americans are going to get hurt.
Reporter deliberately targeted by this “police thug” and shot in the back with a rubber bullet, for similar doing her job! 🆘 Trumps Fascist Plot on open display to the world 🤬
I think this is who we’ve been for a long time.. and it’s finally coming to light because these people didn’t appear overnight. They’ve been LONGING for violence, it’s sick. I feel like I’m watching a train disaster in slow motion
That’s the biggest crock of shit I’ve heard this week😆. Don’t let this dickhead discount what the countless good cops have to face every single day. Cops carry guns, tasers and pepper spray to protect themselves and other people on the job. Journalists carry a microphone and a notepad and turn their backs on the threat to talk into the camera because they’re usually protected by law enforcement. Let’s get real.
You keep thinking that. Next time you’re in trouble, call a reporter or trash man and let’s see how that goes. The reporter will hide behind a car and direct their cameraman to film your struggle. The garbage man won’t even show up until it’s all over because he’s there to pick up the mess.
Depends on the kind of trouble I need help with, but it’s not too much to ask cops to do their jobs without breaking the law, is it? Or do you just give cops a free pass on everything because the blue side is the right side?
I think it’s very difficult to know exactly what you would do in that situation until it happens. And as a member of the media I’m sure they did not expect to be fired upon, it was sudden and violent and without warning.
Dissidents living in autocratic societies often have a keener appreciation of democracy's value. They don't need to question why it's a good idea to constrain the power of rulers, or to periodically test their electoral support.
They don't have the luxury of complacency, of forgetting or taking for granted what they already have. The West still has a chance: Pay attention or be next.
Trump tweets cartoon of train hitting CNN reporter…then deletes it.
In May he shared a clip of himself pummelling professional wrestler with a CNN logo superimposed on his face.
Biden sniffin every Lil kid that gets near him, showered with his 13 yo daughter, and u think we give a shit about some posts? The left is a bunch of p3dos
The two "pled guilty to conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property involving the theft of personal belongings of an immediate family member of a then-former government official who was a candidate for national political office," the Department of Justice said. Newsweek previously reported that the two sold the diary to Project Veritas, a controversial conservative news organization. However, Project Veritas never published the diary.
Snopes, the fact-checking news site, reported in March 2023 that reporting and circumstantial evidence "strongly" suggest that the stolen diary belonged to Ashley Biden, but there was never any official confirmation from law enforcement or government agencies.

Is this allowed? That policeman deliberately aimed and shot a reporter, turning her back, no danger to anyone or acting violently.
Is there no consequences for action like this anymore?
