The state of Virginia will spend $212,500 in taxpayer funds to settle a $40 million lawsuit filed by Elizabeth Daly, the University of Virginia student who spent a night and much of the next day in jail after seven cunningly plain-clothed agents from the Alcoholic Beverage Control division ambushed her for the crime of purchasing bottled water.

Too damn bad it was not 212 billion and break the stupid Fascist state. I still think the lawsuit lottery may be our best weapon against the Police State in which we now live. There has to be a few thousand lawyers willing to million dollar lawsuits on contingency. Bury the criminal cops in lawsuits and break their budgets.

But the way it stands now, aren't the individuals immune to a suit?
DeleteTrue, we cannot sue the individual criminal cop. We have to sue their bosses. Bring the lawsuit against the actual police department then further up the chain include in the city, county or state, which holds jurisdiction over the department. Start making these people bleed money. Nothing will get their attention faster.
DeleteWe need to follow the leftist ideas follow the teaching of Cloward and Piven. Simply overwhelm the system and bury them with lawsuits. Make that thin blue line bleed green and they will change their policies. Even if we do not win every lawsuit, we must keep them flooded with “nuisance suits” which also burns their resources. Win or lose we win by making them bleed money.
I come know I across as a bit revolutionary and confrontational but you should know tiny bit of my history. I know their tactics. Why? I was a 60s radical. I knew Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Bobby Seale and others. I was in the 68 Chicago Democratic nomination riots. I wrote articles for The Black Panthers. I was a communist. And I am no less a radical today at 62 than I was at 15. I just got a brain and switched sides. Then as now, I will do what is needed.

.308 from a distance and .45 up close, that's how it will stop. Until we begin to realize they don't care about our God given rights, it won't stop unless we fight back.
DeleteNeat! That's worth a separate post!
Deleteit won't stop unless we fight back.
DeleteSeems so.
Badger rocks! I can see it now - after all these successful lawsuits and millions paid out, the CREEP politicians have to go to the people to ask for their taxes to be raised to replace lost dollars in the budget. That's when the We the People say NO - You are all fired. We don't want a Police State - we want Sheriff Andy and Deputy Barney back forthwith. If all the illegals were deported, and our borders protected, crime would drop precipitously. I caught the tail end of Savage on Friday night talking about the private corporate prison companies in America - follow the money and you will know why we are in the MESS we are in today - sickening.
