The alleged beatdown is said to have left Hall with several herniated discs and a jaw injury that has inhibited his ability to eat – and he has not returned to the job since.

Government paid, "injured in the line of duty" insurance and disability is definitely a lucrative angle to be played here also.

I've seen a few such cases before....

Yep. Hall is gonna collect a big lawsuit settlement AND a healthy medical retirement income for life.

Line of duty medical pensions can be quite lucrative. In my agency you would’ve got the maximum pension (equivalent to 30 years service), plus a percentage of the average overtime officers worked in your division. Now if you’re all jacked up, and can’t appreciate it, it’s not worth it. But people gotta try gaming the system all the time, apparently.
