I hope she wins her civil case --BIG TIME! ---Want to infringe on our rights... ---MAKE THEM PAY!!

Police officers don't pay the judgements against the police officers. We, the taxpayers, do.

That's one reason crappy cops should be fired - to lower the liability on the taxpayers for their bad decisions.

Rights are violated in a police encounter...

Jurisdictions get sued....
...Then settle... or lose in court...

Bad cops get fired!
