There's something that's wrong, paying people off to avoid admitting wrongdoing.. it's nothing short of corruptiongreybeard":1khuzq8x said:Death gratuity for in-the-line-of duty death from the military is $100,000 lump sum.
Serviceman's life group insurance pays another $400,000 off a $23/month premium.
Only by the grace of God and poor marksmanship did the 2 women in this truck survive.
City of LA settled with them for $4.2 million + buying them a new truck (another $44,000) but only settled under the condition that the city would admit no wrongdoing.
City said it was a good deal, as they wouldn't have to go to court and explain how 8 of it's finest officers all shot up the wrong color, make, and model truck, with 2 women in it instead of one man.
Officers all kept their jobs and lost zero pay.

Yes, some people are easily bought, hence my usage of the term corruption..greybeard":21l5nc2h said:I've not seen a police related settlement NOT worded that way.Nesikep":21l5nc2h said:There's something that's wrong, paying people off to avoid admitting wrongdoing.. it's nothing short of corruption
If that had been me in the truck, the case would have gone to court no matter what the city offered.

BUT Philando Castillo was not employed as either a cop nor a soldier, so I don't understand how you make the
connection of his family receiving a 3 million wrongful death settlement...
to a soldier not getting a 3 million wrongful death settlement when killed during the course of their employment.
The world is geared to operating within a 105-120 I.Q. level, above or below those thresholds is a liability.

Son of Butch":3dzteft3 said:Seems police are trained to be much more aggressive in dealing with the public today than they were 35 years ago.
It may have coincided with the 'war on drugs' and the rise of gangs and increased use of violence in dealing drugs.
The Black Panthers of the late 60s early 70s were very tame compared to the Bloods and Crips that replaced them.
In my judgment police are currently trained in a manner that escalates situations rather than defusing them.
On a side note a few years ago I researched the disproportionate incarceration rate of blacks.
I found that in EVERY COUNTRY in the world blacks are incarcerated at a rate disproportionate to the general
population. Even in countries with 94% black populations the prison inmates are 96% black.
But to point out Facts regarding differences between races will get you labeled as a racist... so I'll stop there.
