Some day in a distant futures maybe district attorneys will stop saying that the fucking cops are always justified. In the meantime it is the taxpayers who pay for these motherfuckers' crimes.
Quote:Denver homeless man’s family awarded $4.6 million over death in county jail
Quote:The family of a homeless street preacher who died in a Denver county jail was awarded $4.6 million on Tuesday by a federal jury who found five sheriff’s deputies used excessive force to subdue the U.S. Army veteran.
Quote:The suit accused five deputies with the Denver Sheriff’s Department of a “massive over-reaction” when they used a choke hold and stun gun to control the 5-foot-5, 135-pound Booker.
“The deputies then carried Mr. Booker’s limp, lifeless, handcuffed body into a holding cell, where they put him down on the floor, face down, summoning no medical attention,” it read.
Autopsy results concluded Booker died of cardiac arrest and listed the cause of death as homicide. The Denver District Attorney’s Office declined to pursue criminal charges against the deputies, saying the use of force had been justified.
