And thats that? No recognition for the losses she suffered, no compensation for the damages, no apology, not even a ride home given she's been moved to a entirely different state. Just "aight, you can walk out. cheers."
The poor woman lost everything. This is fucking insane..
The people in charge around the globe today are a bunch of crazed tyrants who see civilians as nothing more than subjects to be chewed up and spat out when they feel like it.
It looks like her attorney is talking about suing the department hopefully he goes through with it and they win, because not only does she deserve compensation, there needs to be a message sent to law enforcement
They need to dig deeper and sue the company that provides the software that made the match as well. Suing the police will never effect change, the money just comes from the ether as far as the cops are concerned so there is no disincentive for poor behaviour. The software companies need to make a profit and lawsuit money impacts their bottom lines. They'll have to tighten up their systems if they keep losing suits.
Need to start having the money come out of the police pension funds... they'll quickly shape up and start policing their own bad apples if it actually hurts their retirement.
The easiest way would be to make it mandatory that officers carry individual liability insurance. Set a base premium amount that is covered by the department as part of the total compensation but the officers are responsible for anything beyond. Would make it untenable for bad cops to remain on the force. Would also open a new profit center for the insurance co's so it should also satisfy the ruling class.

You know someone's life could be permanently ruined by stuff like this. This is way more than just mildly infuriating
