“Cops aren’t good at dealing with deaf people, or even recognizing when they are dealing with a deaf person AND deaf people aren’t good at dealing with police. “
So who gets to be the adult Ramius? I just wonder what tune you would be singing if this young man were your son? There just isn’t anything to “figure out here,” except how long the former officers spend in jail and how many millions the “good people of Hawthore” get to shell out. Five years would be a good start. You can bet that if one of us did this to another human being we’d be bunking with Big Vinnie and be having a hard time sitting down.

I’m a real believer in very large, painful punitive damages. Citizens won’t turn their backs to this kind of behavior when they have to pay for it. For smaller cities, one bad hit might make the city uninsurable; in big, self-insured cities, court settlements for this sort of thing is ALREADY a eight-approaching-nine-figure yearly line item. Taxpayers will notice this.
