It would have been even better if the settlement was taken out of the PD's general pension funds. That way, it hurts everybody. I bet this "shoot first, ask questions later, especially if they're black" attitude would change real fast, and even end, if large(and larger)settlements like these came directly out of police pension funds. They might actually start policing themselves. It's not fair that taxpayers have to pay twice for these asshole's mistakes. It is a great, additional and painful(for the cops)way to defund the police. Yes, I'm petty.
I remember reading an account by an Afghanistan vet who came home and joined the police and was surprised that his rules of engagement in Afghanistan were stricter and more restrictive than the ones that applied to him as a cop.
The taxpayers of Philadelphia are footing the 2 million bill for these Nazis. If I lived in Philadelphia, there would no longer be a Philadelphia after this if I could help it. Certainly not a PD. You're going to literally kidnap my baby after beating me and then use my baby for racist right wing nazi propaganda to gaslight people into believing there was some "rampant anarchy" ? Nah. Someone's dying for that.
I'm glad that Ms.Young has been at least partially compensated, but someone also needs to sue them on behalf of the child, for the trauma associated with the kidnapping and that horrible photo-op, which will exist on the internet forever.
Again I have to point out that the bible was not upside down. I am not supporting TFG by mentioning this, but pointing out that liberals and progressives need to get the facts RIGHT and not mistate or lie aboout things like the reich-wing does. Doing so makes it easier for them to actually make valid points.I'll let you look up the facts. I'm tired of having to do all the work.
Terribly sorry to have offended. Let me rephrase:Golly gee - that toddler was an even better prop that the Bible (not his, but A Bible) held up by TFG after he had the peaceful crowd (including an Episcopal priest wearing her clericals and putting away water bottles in preparation for leaving) gassed. Better?
"Your taxes at work. Assaulting, kidnapping, battery, sounds like you should pay for the fuck-up!" At least it was caught on video.

Why do fundie Christians put up with the names of the days of the week mostly honoring pagan gods?
I don't know but we're gonna put a stop to that paganizing of day names!!!!
Because that is unlaundered taxpayer money. Make the cops and their union bosses get a taste and then take it away.

You'd think they'd have run it through the rage-shit machine by now

Well, they've MOVEd on since then...

Right - where there was grass to run on, not pavement!
Late, but agreeing with Antifa Commander - he;s been nearly at Nugent level for quite awhile now
Hexadecimal or else!
Ah, a typical Portlander!
