America where are you now?

Don't you care about your sons and daughters?

From the Steppenwolf song “America” which has been on my mind a lot lately.

What absolute assholes these cops are. The cop who hit her should be fired and the jerk who laughed about it should be severely disciplined. I won’t even call them “officers” as they are nothing more than evil and don’t deserve an ounce of respect. Praying for her family and friends at this unimaginable loss.

Good cops would not hesitate to throw these assholes under the bus. Let's see if there are any.

Thanks to that video, the family will get a lot more than $11,000. Keep up the good work, Officer Krupke.

“I think she went up on the hood, hit the windshield, then when he hit the brakes, flew off the car. But she is dead.”

Then the motherfucker laughs.

“No, it’s a regular person,” he continued. “Yeah, just write a check.” More sick laughter. “$11,000. She was 26 anyway. She had limited value.”

BUT WHY? BUT WHY WOULD YOU LAUGH? HE'S A WASTE OF HUMAN FLESH.......

Qualified immunity has got to go. These murderers KNOW they won't see consequences. It's all just a video game with them, where they get to slaughter, maim, and terrorize anyone they want because they are a "regular person", an NPC, with no value whatsoever except as a hilarious story to tell to the bros when they brag over booze and barbeque at their Chief's sumptuous house.

Ta, Stephen. I. Just. Can't. Even. It was a mistake to watch that video, but unlike Kandula, I'll recover. She'll remain dead. May her memory always be a blessing.

END qualified immunity.

Long time insurance claims person here. This case is worth millions and Seattle juries are VERY generous. Assholes.

I’m a retired claims director at a national brokerage and I completely agree that this case is worth millions. And I agree they are assholes closing ranks. 😡

Any money rightfully given to the family should come out of the police pensions or budgets. Or require them to carry liability insurance. Whatever it is, enough with taxpayers footing the bill for psychotic cops who hurt/kill people. Things will won't change until we end qualified immunity and ensure the cops – and only the cops — are on the hook when they do this kind of shit.

My heart goes out to her family, it is unimaginably horrible losing your daughter and then hearing the fuckers laugh about it... I just can't.
