Austin City Council settles three lawsuits relating to 2020 protest injuries

Rewards for rioting, so progressive!
Quote:

  • $375,000 to Jason Gallagher, a Travis County resident that stated he was pepper sprayed by two APD officers, hit in the back by a third officer's baton and pushed.
  • $450,000 to Steven Arawn, a Travis County resident that said APD shot his wrist and hand with a beanbag round while providing help to a fallen protestor. This left him seriously injured.
  • $675,000 to Nicole Underwood, a Hays County resident that stated APD shot her in her torso with one of the beanbag rounds.


Quote:

This new round of settlements comes after seven settlements were reached by the City with a variety of residents that were injured during the protests. These previous lawsuits totaled $14.475 million paid to residents from APD's usage of excessive force in May 2020.

What a ****ing joke this city has become

It's not a ****ing joke. Not even close. It's intentional. It's part of a ****ing plan.

Our way of life is under threat. A real and present danger.

Play stupid games, win great prizes. Not typically how it plays out. Wow.

This will discourage rioters from coming out next time I bet!!!

Well, there goes the pepper spray, batons, and beanbag guns. And the next time there is rioting or unrest in the city they just handcuffed their officer's ability to respond with necessary force. This is just asking for trouble down the road.

Seems to me if you don't want to face the consequences of these law enforcement tools, don't participate in riots. Don't get anywhere near them - it's not that hard.

oh no

I could be completely wrong but those names sound like whitey mcwhitepeople. Makes sense, white liberals are the most likely to protest.

The Google Drive documents in the first message show that the three people who were awarded money weren't rioting. One of them was even volunteering as a medic.

Don't go to a riot and you don't have to deal with riot prevention

This is why when we Texit, we move Austin to California. Along with Houston and Dallas.

Bring out the K-9's see what kind of $$ the rioters can make off them.

Uhh yeah. I've seen these "Antifa medics". They're no different than the rest of those violent commie trash.

You know what you shouldn't be doing during a riot? Be anywhere near it.

Right at $16 Mill pissed away over injury claims from losers that got injured for rioting and destroying property. Plus 20 cops under indictment for trying to stop the rioting.

I can't wait until the next excuse to riot comes along. I bet the cops will not be there and the city is burned to the ground.

Sadly almost half the people in this country fully support this all happening.

Probably got off cheap. Imagine the payout if it was left to a jury of their peers.

Yep; Antifa takes "medics" to all their riots because they're absolutely planning to engage the police in confrontations.

At least they're looting from their own idiot voters to pay these funds out.

Well unless DPS has full authority in Austin, there won't be an end to the shutting down of intersections for fast & furious thugs.

In Dallas after a march/riot broke out a few years ago... some got bean-bagged. That led to Dallas declaring that less-than-lethal force was no longer permitted.

Don't even know what that means... cops can only hung it out w/ rioters? Let the rioters have free reign to burn and destroy? Play classical muzak over loud speakers?

In sane!

The Partys enforcers go out and display force

The Party pays its enforcers from public money

The Party gets richer and more powerful

This is laundering

These are great examples as to why they have way too much tax money and justification for reducing tax burdens on producers.

They are giving it away for no good reason other than they are crazy.
