A retired Tennessee law enforcement officer who was held in jail for more than a month after police arrested him over a Facebook post of a meme related to the assassination of Charlie Kirk has settled a “unlawful incarceration” lawsuit for $835,000.
The sheriff’s office and prosecutors that decided to jail him and keep him in there for however long should be paying some kind of price for this. Complete disconnect between who pays for the mistakes of the police and those in the police making the mistakes.
I mean I wonder if the sheriff’s stuck his neck out during the Civil Trial here. Maybe not because they did not figure the case was neck and neck.
Anyway since the subject is up, Israel was the one actually killed Kirk by the way.
Dude should file for a sizeable portion of that Donvict slush fund and see what happens.

If you’re a cop, gun owner or in the legal system you should have to carry liability insurance personally.
