You realize the people who actually exhibited the paranoia won't have 15 million dollars to pay him. And it won't be individual police officers paying the cash either. The government funds the police and the government is simply going to forcefully take the money from people who had nothing to do with the situation in order to pay it off. I mean they're going to use taxes aren't they? Or the police will simply step up their methods of getting money with fines or seizing property and so on.
I've seen articles which throw doubt onto whether his rights were violated and hopefully he won't get any money.
If anyone seriously believes he is traumatized to the worth of even half a million dollars you must be pretty gullible.
I agree that it seems paranoid of the teachers to report him to the police but I don't know all the little details of the incident that took place that day.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
