Now, Jesse Hagopian is suing the city for $500,000

The Seattle high school teacher and social justice activist filed the $500,000 suit that alleges the officer in a viral video taken of the assault, had unlawfully discharged pepper-spray in his face.

He has every right to sue them, he did nothing wrong and its clear how that "policewoman-trololol" flipped out.
I would like to see what her boses are going to say when they see video and loose half a million on her crazy head.
It seams that the pepperspray everyone now, with every chance they get.

-Land of the free, home of the brave..

Her bosses will not lose any money. That money is tax payer money, money relocated in the pocket of someone who may not have been there randomly, for longer than a few minutes maybe.

Doesnt the money go from police dept. funds?
It would be insane to just pay idiot things like that from state funds, since it wont stop them from repeating things like that whenever they feel like it.

If the 'victim' understands his awarded $$$ could be donated to causes he believes deeply withing his community directly (the tax payers), causes that could impact people positively for generations then that would be great. If only 'part' of the $$$ goes to some groups and organisations but the rest is for shopping and airline tickets, then...
