“Whatever happens this was such a blatantly bad shoot that the LV Metro PD is going to pay a huge civil judgement.”
The PD never pays for their errors; it’s the victims and taxpayers that pay. The PD and their shooters go on with their cushy pensions and benefits as though nothing ever happened. The entire Department should pay when they are involved in something like this. Every officer up to the Chief should face a pay cut and the individual involved should lose everything. Until there is real accountability to the public for gross overreaction, and irresponsibility, this will continue just as it does with more innocent victims.
I see a big change in mentality going on in our USA judicial system where the public at large is considered guilty until proven innocent - from TSA, to photo cameras to this stuff.
That's simply not true.
