In an 8-1 vote Wednesday, Phoenix’s City Council approved a $650,000 settlement payment to the family of a man who died in Phoenix police custody in February of 2019. The mother of Casey Wells had been suing the City of Phoenix alleging Phoenix officers of wrongful death and using excessive force against her 40-year-old son in 2019.

@ygrittesnow1701 6 ай бұрын

@@dingowingo7977The problem with juries is there are too many bootlickers that think any action by a cop is justified. Even the most egregiously criminal acts. Attorneys will recommend clients take settlements like this because it is a sure thing. Whereas with a jury there is a gamble that even if they win they only walk away with some slap in the face amount. Then they still have their attorney fees to cover. So no real justice for going to trial. I agree with you on everything you are saying. Unfortunately we don't have a consensus of accountability when it comes to law enforcement. The vast majority of people would say that cops should be held to a 'higher standard' of accountability. Departments themselves always claim that their officers are held to a 'higher standard' of accountability. Has anyone actually seen cops EVER held to any standard let alone a higher standard?

It should be standard policy that any officer who is found guilty criminally or civilly of a crime is fired and decertified without the ability to resign first to go work somewhere else. If same if the city has to pay out a settlement with the addition of stripping them of qualified immunity.
