Anne Arundel County Settles Police Brutality Suit

The county has paid a deaf man $200,000 to settle a police brutality lawsuit.


The payout figure - released to The Capitallast week after a request under the state's Public Information Act - represents the largest such settlement by the county in at least four years. Most brutality and false arrest claims filed against the county Police Department in recent years have resulted in settlements of no more than $25,000.

And of course the FOP president supports the officers even though multiple complaints have been filed.
And of course two brutal thugs are still on the job. Its not a wonder law abiding citizens have nothing but contempt for these vindictive criminals carrying badges and guns costing tax payers way too much money for their unpunished transgressions.

Cops are so expensive, dangerous and ineffective. Currently 1 out of 3 young people will be arrested, almost all for non-violent 'crimes', like smoking, drinking, skateboarding, smart mouthing, wearing their pants too low, dancing, etc. At the same time 4 out of every 5 murders go unsolved. And the country is more dangerous then ever.
