Brickbat: Getting Slammed

Yuba City, California, officials have agreed to pay close to $20 million to settle a lawsuit by a man left paralyzed after being slammed to the ground by police after a traffic stop. According to his lawyer, Gregory Gross cannot walk or use his hands and now requires 24-hour-a-day nursing care. Police had stopped Gross for suspicion of drunk driving and causing a slow-speed collision in which no one was injured. Police bodycam video showed Gross, already in handcuffs, crying out in pain as an officer twisted his arms. It later showed officers slam him to the ground and hold him facedown on the ground. And it showed officers mocked him as he called out that he could not breathe and could not feel his legs.

'The taxpayers of Yuba City California have been fleeced of 20 million dollars to cover for the actions of city cops.' There, that's better.

I earn 200 dollars per hour working from home on an online job. I never thought I could accomplish it, but my best friend makes $10,000 per month doing this profession and that I learn more about it.

If law enforcement aren't allowed to act on their frustrations during traffic stops they're just going to take that home with them.

We need to reinstate prohibition and ban cars to be sure nothing like this ever happens again!

It might be a bit inconvenient, but no cop deserves the trauma of being sued.

[Social Justice is neither]

If it saves just one life...

LOL. "At least they didn't say the quiet part out loud I guess":

As part of the settlement, Yuba City will also start randomly auditing officers’ bodycam footage and reviewing use of force incidents, police Chief Brian Baker said.

I'd be interested to get the opinion of a lawyer who's familiar with amateur gamer RNG functions/HS level statistics on how this is anything other than a meaningless platitude that actually dilutes out the enforcability of the settlement. Is it a full-on meta "The city agreed to make a statement so the obligation under the settlement is met." situation?

No turduckens were harmed during this arrest.

Valid point.

I do predict, though, that we’re not just going to see lab-grown meat. We are going to see lab-grown meat that eventually diverges from trying to taste like it’s animal-grown equivalent, using genetic engineering to improve taste and texture, yields, and nutrient content.

There are precedents for all that from golden rice to turducken.

I'm still waiting for the turducken precedent. 🙂

turducken precedent

Find one that's over 35 years old, and I’ll pick him over Trump or Biden.

[Unicorn Abattoir]

While it's great to see new memes enter the comments section, let's not forget the old ones like trunk bears and HO2.

[Don't look at me!]

Time honored classics.

I ate a turducken once. The first four letters is an accurate adjective for flavor.

They didn't just stop at $20 million. The Chief of Police also said, “On April 12th, 2020, we missed the mark. And for that, Mr. Gross, I’m sorry.” - which certainly makes up for '....“Mr. Gross, we are done with your silly little games,” an officer tells him....' taken from the Body cam as the cop was inflicting permanent damage to the man's neck and spine.
You can't have these facts but no one going to jail for 20 years and think this will ever stop.

[Cyto]

So... 20 million for permanently disabling this man and likely leaving him in constant pain for a shortened life....meanwhile. Alex Jones said some rude things about parents who lost their kids and had to pay a billion dollars.

If you ask me, that seems completely out of whack.

[Heedless]

Most of the punitive damages against Alex Jones appear to be punishment for, well, being Alex Jones.

Since none of these cops was Alex Jones, the city got a lesser judgement.

[Unicorn Abattoir]

WHITE LIVES MA...Oh, fuck it.

[Restoring the Dream]

Maybe he can use 10 million or so to pay some psychos to kill the police department.

Twelve months ago, after quitting my job , I was blessed to discover this awesome job opportunity on-line which saved me... They offer online home-based work. My latest check doing this job with them for 4 months was $10000... Great fact about the job is that the only requirement for the job is basic typing and internet access...
