OK then.....If anyone is interested, please go to yahoo.com news. There you can find a story to the effect that the police in Missouri are being sued for $40 Million dollars due to treating citizens as if war combatants - I understand there are several folks filing this one lawsuit for $40 Million. Personally, as far as sending a message to the police and punishing via financial loss, I think they are asking for too little. We'll see if this goes to court or if the city's insurance company handles it hush hush out of court with the provision that no one talk about it but I'd like to see a larger settlement to send a message to both the police and to civilians everywhere. Everyday people stand up and effect change via financial loss, and police - get your act together as you are no longer going to enjoy being above the law. So so so long overdue. I'm hoping for many many many more similar lawsuits. Rob
PS Please understand that this lawsuit here stems from police behavior AFTER the shooting and it not directly about the actual shooting of Michael Brown or the officer involved. I'm also looking forward to lawsuits from two journalists who were assaulted at the Ferguson McDonald's and others who were pushed, shoved, teargassed, and threatened. These are educated people who know the dollar value of such behavior by the police - bring the lawsuits on!
