Some times I hate this country so much I can't stand it.

The punishment will be taxpayers giving the family 25 million so the cops can walk away. The incredible thing to me is that this is way more fucked up than Rodney King and I can find like two news stories on it. King actually was a dick and was doing fucked up shit before he was inappropriately beat down. This guy was being polite and cooperative and was possibly in no way involved in the reported "brawl".

I was trying to find more news about it, but like you said there isn't much out there.

25 million? I didn't know if they actually got it. I saw thats what they wanted. damn, I get pwned and my folks only get 400,000.

as a side note, many of my Professors moon light as economic experts in wrongful death suits. They help the family's legal teams determine how much money they should ask for.

The family for this guy are still fighting for money.

The highlight of that story is that one of the cops decided that one clip wasn't enough.
