Do I understand correctly that all of this happened within a day? Call me crazy but thats a blessing in disguise. Pops still breathing AND I'm up 900k?

That man was already mentally fragile enough that the people falsely accusing him of killing his father led to a suicide attempt and a 72 hr hold on a psych facility and you say it’s nothing? My cousin is manic depressive and back in 2016 he had a maniac episode so bad he ended up in a psych hold. After he came out, he said he’d rather die than be back in that place ever again. It’s not exactly the soothing place to be. Which is ironic since that’s where they send people who 100% shouldn’t be in that type of environment.

:what:

the man was tortured ffs

he should get ten times that money. fukk the police :pacspit:

Might get a billion from a jury, and then nothing from the appeals court.

Qualified Immunity.

TBH, they lucky to get the 900K.

And the cops prolly get a raise.

900k isn't enough. They were likely going to try & give that man life. I now need you all to make sure I'm set for the rest of it. :hubie:

I don’t know if anybody remembers this documentary from way back in the day when the Discovery channel used to show documentaries and not reality TV. There was a brutal rape where somebody broke into woman’s apartment. The cops coerced confessions from something like five different men until they found the right one. Some of them got sent to prison, even though it was just one guy who did it.
