    Default Nice paycheck for sitting on the sidewalk!

    Aurora forks over cash unlawful detainment. 14 folks get award of $325,000. I wonder how much the lawyer got?

    Those constitutional rights are pesky things in the police state

    Usually 40% is the lawyer's take.
    “Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson

    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

    I remember when this happening thinking how much the police over stepped. I think the city got off cheap. I'm surprised more people weren't in the lawsuit.

    Moral hazard.

    Because $$ comes out of tax payers' pocket, it will continue to:
    -do same/similar thing again and again
    -lawyer will have a big payout again and again.

    Good outcome. Anyone in Boston ever sue for having their fundamental rights trampled on after the marathon bombing?

    It's funny you mention this because I was wondering the same thing. In the moments following the bombing I found myself alone in questioning the reach of LE in their search for the perps. Constitutionally protected rights aren't protected when things are going fine and stress levels are low. There's time to make the proper decision then. The Constitution represents the bare minimum of rights so that in times of stress and anxiety the line is clear and it was crossed that day blatantly and numerous times in the name of safety and it didn't seem like too many people gave a shit. Pretty scary precedent to set IMO.
