and any Board Members, oh my, if they don't have their own, personal insurance...they may be individually liable. Another reason why the police, knowing this full well, don't want any arrests or problems on record.

I found this out years ago (California) when asked to be on the Board of a nonprofit. I learned that because there are few financial resources, there had been cases where Board members had been individually sued...and cases won.

I'm surprised it took this so long to come out. Of course, everything about this case takes a long time and it's going to likely go down as some kind of a landmark in race relations...unfortunately, because the provable racial aspect of it remains vague.

Another guess is that anyone who is or intends to be selling and hasn't closed escrow, will likely find themselves in tougher negotiations and the values impacted.
