The teen girl without a permanent home who was forced to don jail garb, wear handcuffs and ask for mercy after falling asleep in a courtroom is suing the Detroit judge who had her taken into custody.
Eva Goodman, 15, and her mother filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday in U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Michigan against 36th District Judge Kenneth King. They allege he violated the teen’s civil rights, arguing King acted outside the scope of his judicial authority when he detained her, yelled at her and threatened her with jail time.
Oh he will
You mean we will, right? I’m sure he’s protected the same way cops are so taxes will be used to pay for judge’s mistakes while he continues to be a piece of shit without any repercussions.
If you don’t like paying for the mistakes of law enforcement, legislate punishment on law enforcement that makes mistakes!
When it’s a judge you have to vote them out (usually), and since they were voted in you have to punish the taxpayer for making such a boneheaded mistake.
It’s a taxpayer votes in this chuckle fucker again and maybe we need to punish them that much harder.
The government has the money to spare otherwise they would stop fucking up so goddamn always.
Yep. Settlement payouts need to go through the roof until the apathetic or unaware take notice of what they are doing to their tax bill. It’s the US after all, so impacting peoples’ money is of course the only way we’ll get any reform.
Or maybe, now hear me out, make powerful pos pay for their own lawsuits.
One of those things has a chance of happening, the other does not. In theory I agree with you. In the case of police, QI will prevent that most of the time for civil suits. In the case of judges, they are judges…
Or maybe settlements should come from police budgets and pension accounts, cuz u know they did the damage…
