At first I though the news came from theonion.
Then I saw it was Neal who posted it so I was amazed.
Then I read the story and I was amazed even more.
Really?
The first lesson we had about American culture was like that: the teacher pointed to a map of the USA and said: compensation culture.
I can understand people suing MacDonalds for buying a hot coffee and not being informed on the cup that the coffee is hot. I can perfectly understand that people may be more dumb than greedy. No problem with that.
But a cop suing somebody for not having been informed that this is actually not an invitation for a BBQ or poker is just ridiculous.
A trained cop with a gun gets beaten by an unarmed perpetrator. Blame the caller.
If I were that lady, I would sue the police for sending a negligent idiot wearing a uniform and a gun to handle my call.
Compensation culture.
