1. Family will sue him and the police department and hopefully get many millions.

One of the BEST ways, believe it or not, to stop this behavour is sue the city to the point they have to fire the bad ones.

Now, this will only work for a little while because as we speak a traitor who works for Putin, his name is Mitch McConnell, is filling the courts with judges that will NEVER find for patriots and law abiding people.

4. No Do NOT sue the city . . . Sue the Enforcer Unions and the Individuals personally

Sue in Civil Court. The city shouldn't have to pay these fees any longer. It takes away money the cities need to function.

CIVIL COURT, I believe is the answer to this abuse of power

6. You sue both, that is how it is done. The city is liable.

The city has the insurance and the money, this is how you force the city to stop hiring racists.

[MagickMuffin]

8. Sure sue the cities and then the cities can cut funding

ya know, because they don't have the money to maintain public parks, education, road maintenance, hospitals, the list goes on and on.


I'd much rather see the enforcers sued and the unions sued. Bankrupt them they deserve it.

[Baltimike]

19. They should have done a better job with employee training.

So um...tough shit about their funding.

15. On what legal principle can you sue the Union?

[CanonRay]

2. If he's found to be acting out of the scope of his employment, he can be found personally liable

And bye bye pension

[MagickMuffin]

3. George Floyd's family NEED to SUE him in Civil Court

Take his money. He doesn't deserve it especially after murdering people. We don't know how many others might have died by his hand, knee or what other devices he might use.


ETA: I wonder if this is why his wife filed for divorce!

[shanti]

12. That and

the fact that a wife can't be made to testify against their husband. Maybe she wants to!

[Aristus]

5. $1 million dollars? This is what we give pig-cops nowadays?

Out of curiosity, what do we give the cops who actually protect and serve the populace? You know, all eleven of them?...

[jimfields33]

7. That's over 40 years or so

I think he’s 50 so they are calculating into old age. He probably has a pension of 2500 a month.

[Jim__]

9. He'll be able to get whatever he wants from the commissary.

Hope he enjoys it. Me? I'd prefer to take my chances on the street.

[customerserviceguy]

10. Yeah, that will buy a lot

of candy bars. Or, maybe it will be used to support his family, if he's got one.

[Rorey]

11. Same here. Freedom is worth more than money

Anyway, it is to me.

And the thing is, Chauvin will never be free now. Even if he doesn't spend any time in prison, he'll have to look over his shoulder for the rest of his life. I sure wouldn't want to live like that.

[Cha]

13. wow.. isn't his wife divorcing him? Hope he ends up

in prison and can't enjoy it.

[Bev54]

18. Yes, and she should be able to get at least 50% of his pension

[brooklynite]

14. So he'll have money for the prison commissary?

[brooklynite]

16. My Government pension is worth about $2.5 M...

Set aside the amount; the issue (likely a matter of Union negotiations) is that someone convicted of wrongdoing in conjunction with his job is still eligible for the full amount.

[Chainfire]

17. If he is in prison

The state can use that pension to pay for his keep.
