FILE - In this Jan. 2, 2019, file photo, people walk past the Earl Warren Building that houses the California Supreme Court in San Francisco. Los Angeles County must pay a full $8 million damages award to the family of a Black man whose death evoked the more resent death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, the California Supreme Court ruled Monday, Aug. 10, 2020.

The justices said their decision centered on a ballot initiative adopted by California voters in 1986 that assigned damages based on degrees of responsibility, not on Burley's race or that he was killed during an encounter with law enforcement. Orange said lawsuits alleging police battery, like the one he filed, are"one of the most effective tools that folks in communities that are typically subject to police violence have in order to seek justice.”

That's one way of reducing police crime.

ABC News. Protects Jeffery Epstein. Has reporters too scared to ask Trump valid questions. ABC , another coward and another agency that deserves to be called Fake News. ABC news is the child molester of the news world.

Was he high on fentanyl and resisting arrest too?

Looks like maybe bad policing doesn’t pay.

Thank me
