This is beyond disgusting. Hey shitstain. If you didn't go around KILLING people, you wouldn't have this distress crap YOU put on your racist self. Find a volcano and jump in it.

I know that sometimes suing/countersuing is one of the hoops you have to jump through to get insurance to pay out, but I would think if that was the case here it would be mentioned in a press release, and that other officers/police departments would have done it in the past.
