Brickbat: Non-Lethal Conduct

Officials in Minneapolis have agreed to pay $1.5 million to settle a lawsuit by Jaleel Stallings, who was beaten by police officers while being arrested in 2020. The city will also pay Stallings' attorneys' fees and other costs. The arrest took place after police officers in an unmarked van began firing non-lethal rounds into a parking lot where Stallings was during protests over the death of George Floyd. Stallings, who had a concealed carry permit, returned fire. He surrendered when he realized it was police, but bodycam video showed officers striking and kicking him even though he wasn't resisting. Stallings claimed self-defense and was acquitted of shooting at the police in 2021.

Stallings, who had a concealed carry permit, returned fire.

We have been told ad nauseam by the Left that it was the QAnon folks who brought guns while the BLM ANTIFA members gathered as peaceful protestors.

"I went into the civil case with not hope for a check as much as I was hoping for justice and accountability, and I don't feel I received that at all," he said.

It is adorable that a 27 year old, gun toting ANTIFA member is demanding justice and accountability in a city torched by his own “bruthas” costing more than $1 Billion. One wonders what white neighborhood he will choose to purchase his new ”crib”

And then complain when his white neighbors treat him like an outsider and second-class citizen.

;when will we wake up and realize that cops do little to nothing to keep us safe or reduce crime ?? Cops are bully shits who are too stupid to get a good job paying job that pays good money,

Some residents WCCO spoke with didn’t realize the city is self-insured, and their tax dollars cover police conduct payouts.

Ouch.

[Overt]

And by the way, that self insurance will also cover lawsuits against Police when QI is removed. And Reason will be surprised.

You have to crush the unions first.

+1 Hear the lamentations of their women.

QI only protect against incompetence and deliberate malfeasance.

Government agents properly conducting their duties will remain protected by Absolute Immunity.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

That doesn't change the point. If (when) QI is removed, officers will be indemnified against lawsuits by their departments. And we already have clear evidence of this in cities that have-- according to Reason-- "gotten rid" of Qualified Immunity.

Overt up the middle with the two handed jam!

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

How many activists pay taxes?

[Longtobefree]

Which is why police seldom use "non" lethal rounds.

[Trifrozion]

Is this the one where the cops basically recorded their crimes? If I recall, they ran a red light right before they shot him and they did not have their lights and siren on.

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

Were they driving a red SUV?
