A teenager who video-recorded his mother’s forceful arrest by Louisiana sheriff’s deputies in 2020 has been awarded $185,000 by a federal jury in a lawsuit filed over one deputy’s attempt to interfere with the recording.
I get your point, I just disagree that taxpayers shouldn’t be on the hook for all the black people we’ve killed and the families we’ve destroyed.
I’m not a fan of the continuous buck passing that seems foundational to American culture and I don’t believe “making police unions pay for it” will solve a “problem” that most Americans support. If I had to guess, cops would likely just rob from more black and brown people to make up for the loss
Overwhelming support for police does not mean that taxpayers should be on the hook when they fuck up.
