and the fact that the jury gave them money suggests they could file a civil case and get a lot more money

and he reached for it

Not true and not what the officer claimed

Obviously a bad shoot

$4 is pretty cheap for a person, even those of a certain descent. Even back in the day, slaves cost as much as $40,000 equivalent (modern cash)

the cop said he saw him with a gun

he was obviously holding it

and why do i see contradictory news stories about this

some say 4 dollars some say 4 cents

No obviously not if it was found I. His back pocket by cops lol.

And depending on the state you can have different types of negligence. In some states the laws make it so there can be a % that you’re at fault

There he was probably 1% at fault so he gets 1% damages

thats true

Iirc from a law course it is called contributory or comparative negligence

so why did the courts find the cop not guilty

the cops testified they saw a gun

yet supposedly the gun was in the back pocket

so whats the full story

Yeah as reported by the actual people at the scene

<:powerthink:402373351961788417> Maybe BLM is right and cops just shoot unarmed black men in the streets literally all the time

There is no way you pull a gun and then t ends up in your pocket

@shinjitsu you took a course on torts?

Yeah it was a business law class

o fukkk we big brained up in here

I was going to go into law but decided against it

Shoulda stayed in law

We need people to fight the chosen in the courts

Science degree is so much cheaper and has funding for grad programs though

Becoming a lawyer is like $200k

Imagine if all scholarships were only for worthwhile degreez

Especially govt funding

Ikr imagine how much funding there would be

More like imagine how few people would be getting assistance for degrees ;P

WHICH WOULD BE FINE

If I were a leader I would make non practical education illegal because it is a net drain on the economy

Yeah imagine if we privatized student loans

Would be real nice

College prices would drop

We have private student loans?

I mean the government not giving loans to people getting degrees who will never be able to pay them back
