I wish he wouldn't have settled out of court and completely bankrupted the police dept. everyone of those officers deserve to be homeless and living under a bridge.
but I don't blame him for settling.
and officers wonder why they can't raises they should get, because of lost money like this occurring all the time.

The fatal shooting of a pregnant woman by Ohio police last month is drawing new scrutiny to a victim’s rights law that advocates of open government say is being misused by police to hide the identity of officers involved in use-of-force cases.
The family of 21-year-old Ta’Kiya Young have questioned why the Blendon Township police officer who fatally shot Young in a grocery store parking lot Aug. 24 has not been publicly named by the department nor fired or criminally charged, despite what they say are clear violations of department policy caught on body-camera footage.
“If we had video evidence of a citizen committing an act that appeared to be a murder, there would not be a long investigation [beforehand]; that suspect would be identified and that suspect would be charged,” said Sean Walton Jr., an attorney for Young’s family.
The two officers involved in the incident are considered victims, thus cannot be identified publicly, Blendon Township Police Chief John Belford said in a statement last week, citing the crime victim’s rights amendment known as Marsy’s Law. Belford said he would “defer any policy or employee discipline review” until the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) completed its probe.
The officer who did not fire his weapon is back on active duty after a brief leave because of the staffing needs of the roughly 15-person department, Belford said. The officer who shot Young remains on administrative leave.
At a news conference Wednesday, Walton criticized the way police have used Marsy’s Law, saying it’s not being used for victim privacy, as originally intended, but to shield police who use deadly force from public scrutiny.
“It’s contrary to the public interest and it’s contrary to public safety,” he said.
The first Marsy’s Law — named for 21-year-old Marsalee Nicholas, who was killed by her boyfriend in 1983 — passed in California in 2008 with the aim of expanding victims’ rights under the state constitution.
Those rights included creating notification requirements about a defendant’s parole hearings or release, and allowing crime victims to redact their name, addresses or other identifying information from case-related public records.
More than a dozen states have since adopted Marsy’s Law, including Ohio, where it passed in a 2017 voter referendum and took effect earlier this year.
But as the law has expanded, police departments around the country — including in Florida, Ohio and Wisconsin — have sought to use it as cover for officers involved in use-of-force incidents, including several cases this summer.
Between July 6 and Aug. 9, officers with the Columbus Police Department were involved in four separate fatal shootings, Axios reported.
In each case, Marsy’s Law was cited as the reason the officers could not be identified to the public…….

An Indianapolis police sergeant who stomped on the face of a handcuffed man has been sentence to one year and a day in prison.
Eric Huxley, 44, pleaded guilty in May to using excessive force when he kicked Jermaine Vaughn's head during an arrest for disorderly conduct in September 2021.
Bodycam footage of the incident showed Huxley drive his right foot into Mr Vaughan’s face as he lay prone on the ground and was being restrained by another officer in Indianapolis’ Monument Circle.
US District Court Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson said the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police officer’s actions had “shocked the conscience”, according to the Indianapolis Star.……

and they still wonder why people have a distrust in the police.
those officers who arrived and escalated this to arrest are terrible officers and even more terrible humans.
I wish them nothing but karma they deserve..
if I was the mom, I would post their picture everyday on Facebook and say how crappy they are

A family from New Mexico was held at gunpoint by police after trying to rush their injured dog to the veterinarian.
William Albrecht was driving his dog Stella to the vet with his wife and 16-year-old son back in July after the pet was hit by a car.
The family had jumped in the car immediately after the labradoodle was struck near the family’s home in Rio Rancho and were speeding down Interstate 550 through Bernalillo when a police cruiser stopped them.
“I imagined if he was going to pull me over for speeding, I’d pull over. He’d say something to me and then maybe even help us get there. You know, I’ve heard of stories like that before, but that didn’t happen, ” Mr Albrecht told KRQE.
Police videos from the traffic stop obtained by KRQE showed Officer Jeramie Nevarez ordering Mr Albrecht out of the car at gunpoint, swearing at him while he did so.
“Face the Fork* away from me!” the officer shouts at him. He then continues to shout orders such as: “Step back! Step Fork*ing back! Go to your left! Fork*ing faster! Get on your knees!”
Mr Albrecht, who has no shoes on, is forced by the officer to walk backwards towards traffic on the busy road, all the while the gun is still pointed.
Mr Albrecht tried to plead with the officer by saying to him “my dog’s gonna die,” but his pleas were ignored……
The situation escalated when three other officers arrived on the scene, who then also pointed their guns at Ms Albrecht and their son, Remi Albrecht.
“I saw my son was sticking his hands out the window, too, like, dude, our dog’s going to die,” Mr Albrecht said. “I was scared. I was genuinely scared.”
Their son tried to point in the position of his mother, who was holding their dog, who was bleeding from its head, but “none of them seemed to even care at the moment at all,” Mr Albrecht told KRQE.
Mr Albrecht, who was then handcuffed and being walked to the police car, was still pleading with the officers that their dog was about to die.
“I don’t give a Fork*,” Officer Nevarez responded. “Okay,” Mr Albrecht said.
His son was also being directed towards a police car. When Mr Albrecht saw this he said to the officer: “I can’t believe you’re doing this, sir.”
Officer Nevarez responded: “Jesus Fork**** Christ, man!”
“I can’t believe you pulled your gun on my kid, sir,” Mr Albrecht said to the officerm who replied: “It’s policy.”
“Oh yeah, I hear ya,” Mr Albrecht responded.
The policy in question was sourced by KRQE, but it states that “the level of force employed must be commensurate with the threat posed by the subject and the seriousness of the immediate situation”.……..
As his cuffs came off, Mr Albrecht said: “Dude, you’re something else, man.” Officer Nevarez replied: “You’re something else sir,” before saying: “Good luck with your dog.”
Unfortunately, the family dog did not make it and died shortly after they arrived at the vet.…..

Piece of crap. But he'll probably get a pat on the back from the dept for doing a good job... Why are some officers so full of hate?
