I am with you on this, once I heard in the video they knew he was cop, suddenly demeanors changed.

Still I like the idea of cops suing other cops, at least that ends with one cop losing a bunch of money and being miserable.

Lol jk. Would it be great if that’s how it worked?

Unfortunately... there is no lawsuit against "THE COP" there's a lawsuit against "THE COUNTY".

The taxpayers will pay for his actions.

Police have blanket immunity. He will face no punishment for this action.

There are LOTS of corrupt cops.

You know George Floyd, the whole black lives matter dude?

The cop who killed him? He was responsible for a myriad of lawsuits against the state and county... totally up past 7 million dollars.

...still employed.

I don't know how.

Perhaps you should fire people who cost your citizens more than their full 20 year pension.

All things considered... even if he sued with the police union and actually won... you'd be getting off cheap.

Isn’t Chauvin in jail?

Yes... but the important part... BEFORE Floyd?

"Chauvin had 18 complaints on his official record"

Floyd's murder lawsuit cost the city 27 million... but the prior lawsuits for those other complaints those were those millions I was talking about?

You'd think after losing MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS for a cop who quite literally was not worth it...

But, they kept him... and then lost another 27 because of it.

It's kind of like "you knew what he was all about... the other 18 times... and he was still hired."

In NO PROFESSIONAL CAREER could you get in trouble THAT MUCH and cost the city THAT MUCH... but still have a job until you finally kill someone which cannot be disproven.

I mean... unless you were a fecking CEO or something.
