the usual bad cop apologists show up. I hope he gets the money but won't hold my breath.
End. Qualified. Immunity.

Nope. And he doesn't deserve it.
23m in a judgment against an incarcerated police officer... For actions which have ALREADY been covered by the city.
The judgment was ridiculous.
No, that does not mean I agree with the officer's actions or that I think the default judgment was wrong. But $23m? The judge is virtue-signaling with someone else's money.
This serves to essentially enslave this former cop to the person he beat. He now owes more than he will make in his lifetime.
You may call that justice. I do not.

SFC Casey O'Mally - I did not say that. Justice was the culprit being locked up. I do not know the extent of the victim's injuries but unless he was rendered incapable of making a decent living, I agree the sum seems high

It's too bad that he got beat up. You would think that the officers would know who the undercover officer is in a briefing beforehand.
The brutality was not warranted and doesn't matter if its cops or civilians roughed up to badly.
It's too bad. This guy has lifelong injuries.
This still doesn't mean ACAB.
The same people doing AC. A. B. Or the same ones that are trying to cause riots all over the US. On campus and becoming Palestinian nazis.
Unemployed antifa and Black lying marks as types being hired for coordinated campus anarchy paid for by wealthy democrats who they suspect are George Soros or the Rockefellers

The problem I have with this whole thing is how the police tried to cover it up. As a CO, we were taught that once the inmate was subdued, actions stopped. Anything after that was fair game for a lawsuit by the inmate or termination. All our forced cell actions were videoed and zero tolerance for disappeared evidence like the tape. The police have qualified immunity, which I an okay with for the most part, but when these type of incidents occur, that immunity should be gone and there should be terminations for cover-up and lying.
