POLICE drain the wealth and freedoms from honorable taxpayers FORCING loss of jobs, credit, home, marriage, and desire to continue living after complete financial ruin. In contrast, the police convert taxpayers into welfare recipients! ($10,000 to $100.000 to prove innocence in court!) Police often say "The initial arresting process is the punishment", and they would be right ...! (POLICE encounter's seldom if ever benefit the taxpayer!) - USMC (Semper Fidelis) SGT E-5 (5811)

If it did start coming out of their pocket they would all go on strike and demand a pay rise to cover the costs instead of ever changing their criminal actions. American policing needs to be rebuilt from the ground up because the system itself is fatally flawed. It's going to require a total cultural change with a new generation of cops who understand what accountability is, and know they will face consequences for their actions. This will mean removing almost every sheriff who came up in this corrupt system.

Even without qualified immunity we'd still be footing the bill in most cases because government officials are covered by indemnification. Qualified immunity is what typically prevents lawsuits from moving forward. Even once the court decides the officer isn't entitled to qualified immunity because of established case law, the taxpayers still pay because usually good old indemnification kicks in. According to a study done by NYU Law, police officers are virtually always indemnified: During the study period, governments paid approximately 99.98% of the dollars that plaintiffs recovered in lawsuits alleging civil rights violations by law enforcement. Law enforcement officers in the study never satisfied a punitive damages award entered against them and almost never contributed anything to settlements or judgments-even when indemnification was prohibited by law or policy, and even when officers were disciplined, terminated, or prosecuted for their conduct.

Even without qualified immunity we'd still be footing the bill in most cases because government officials are covered by indemnification. Qualified immunity is what typically prevents lawsuits from moving forward. Even once the court decides the officer isn't entitled to qualified immunity because of established case law, the taxpayers still pay because usually good old indemnification kicks in. According to a study done by NYU Law, police officers are virtually always indemnified: During the study period, governments paid approximately 99.98% of the dollars that plaintiffs recovered in lawsuits alleging civil rights violations by law enforcement. Law enforcement officers in the study never satisfied a punitive damages award entered against them and almost never contributed anything to settlements or judgments-even when indemnification was prohibited by law or policy, and even when officers were disciplined, terminated, or prosecuted for their conduct.
Mr Heikkola has seen the reality of how aggressive US policing in the US really is. He gets it now. He has seen the light.

@@firewater365 Indeed he did, but that is simply because he likely never had this kind of encounter before. Cops do this every day in the US, but the victims are disproportionally black and Hispanic. I am betting that Mr Heikkola now has a far better appreciation of what minority communities have faced for many decades and the lives it has destroyed. Cops can turn looking into a car a life threatening and life changing event. He knows this now, and he won't ever be able to unsee the outrageous behavior of cops.
And cops still wonder why they're hated...
The taxpayers are held accountable, the cops didn't pay anything, not even attorneys fees.
When will communities demand. more education in law. For. Police
The worst from cops is yet to come. Too much power for people who are too emotional to be in positions of authority.
Disgusting! how long are judges and da’s going to let this kind of stuff go on? It’s insane that the worst criminals in the nation seem to be police!

To clarify my earlier question...I assume that seeing 6 or 7 would indicate many more of same type in the department. Perhaps, even a majority, and very possibly corrupted leadership at all levels. So if that is your definition of a manufacturer, yes...I am one.

$1MILLION SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARDED.
If it were me, it would be a settlement with stipulations for termination of the officers involved.
Really really love this story it is an honest looking one not somebody out trying to pick and pokey but an actual case where these fools power mad fools get out there and do the things they do the very reason qualified immunity should be abolished!

I agree.
the blue wall of silence speaks volumes... the sheriff's statement was insulting and pathetic
Has anyone settling these cases out of court ever considered requiring all police to take indepth constitutional law to know what they swear an oath to
Good for this courageous citizen!! Very proud of him!!
They interact with people every day. That is true. And they treat everyone with the same crappy attitude. They are not your friends.
Great job on reporting clear and concise information, clear clean diction, got high hopes for you lady.

These cops were not held to account, the taxpayers were. It's doubtful that the response of the officers was more than a shrug, then business as usual.

Settlement should have been for no less than $100,000,000. Nothing less will force any change.
He did not get enough compensation for what they did to him! 😡
*0:30** She looks surprised.*
10% of the payouts should come from the officers involved.
They call it a fumble 😢 every deputy and jailer should be prosecuted and have to pay the settlement

Hey the cops pocket them for parties or everyday use. Always ask your pharmacy to dispose of them. They have all kinds of expired drugs and they will also get rid of yours.

Good reporting! Very courageous for him to speak out. It's absolutely disgusting that officers think they can treat people this way.
Deputy William Clark thinks the deputies acted "kind" to the poor fella. The D.A.'s office is just as guilty.
Wow this is good reporting. Feels fresh to see it. They did not seem bias. Real reporters
