Was the officer not issued a torch?:-? A flashlight for our American readers.

No victim wants to be a victim.

In all seriousness, why would any police force in any country wish to alienate those they protect and serve...

Unless their idea of service is as long as they are not hurt or miss their coffee break.


It is not like she filed false claims, I can understand suing then, she seeked protection, and got it, at a price.

Why bother next time, just let him kill you, or kill him, cannot depend on the police...

That is what this says to me, might get sued if the poor baby is inept in his training.

(edit. A loss in policing faith, is the first step in a loss of public faith as a whole.

The police is most peoples justice, is this what they get?

If the police, for whatever a reason, does an inadequate job in providing protection, safety and crime investigation, nobody should be surprised or complain about private people taking these things in their own hands.

I would have no problem if cops sued people that hurt them, not people that report to 911. Regardless of her situation, she has the right to report. Responding to a 911 call should be enough to put a cop on his toes.

My brother n Law pulled someone to give a ticket, drunk man bit him on the hand causing a severe infection. He filed a suit and won, but didn't really get anything.

As stated, if I saw a drunk carrying a stick and just called 911 reporting a drunk, forgot to mention stick and he beat the cop, not my problem. People screw up facts all the time making calls. The lady did her job, the cop didn't.
If he hadn't shot the guy, I would have no problem suing him or even his estate. Good luck!

George Zimmerman did that, now his entire family has to hide., despite the verdict...

This is one step in a systematic loss of good faith in the police that will tear our nation apart one day.

They do not protect and serve us anymore, they are all homeland security officers now, above us proles.

They do not serve the people but thier politician masters.

Huge loss of faith here...

Never forget...
When you're only seconds away from being robbed and murdered, the police are only minutes away. Well, depending on call volume and traffic of course.:hmmm:
