If the money came from the police officers involved it might almost be enough to make them think, but unfortunately that money, along with all the cost of defending the lawsuit, will come from the taxpayers.

I don't agree with that low amount. It's like that cop just got a negative counseling statement.

This is ridiculous. The 2LT handled the situation with Integrity and Honor.
4K can't take away the humiliation of being profiled by the officers involved.

Excellent post. Thank You for sharing this. I forgot about this incident. I believe that's a low amount to be compensated for His troubles. I believe the amount should've been more than that. I do believe that the "creed" of the officer had something to do with that case.
