Thin skinned cop had no right..the nerve.

Typical cop. Their all the same. Then they wonder why the disconnect, unbelievable that lawyer should be commended for standing up for our rights and not backing down

Money should be paid from police retirement fund and not by insurance (and ultimately taxpayers). SO many HORRIBLE cops in this country.

Abuse of power should have more drastic consequences.

He acted like a teenager (I would say toddler, but toddlers don’t flip off the police), but it’s not against the Law.

only took 6 yrs... so false arrest for 'disorderly conduct' nets $100kplus. & all u gotta do is start flipping off cops?..
