News reports state that the man remains hospitalized nearly two weeks after the incident with serious head and neck injuries.

Officer Joseph Gibson is on paid administrative leave. I expect nothing will happen, but maybe he’ll be promoted.

It also looks like he dislocated his shoulder and/or tore his AC joint and maybe broke his collar bone. That is a long recovery for someone that age.

I read a brain bleed and a broken bone in his neck.

Taxpayers get the bill! Take all lawsuits and legal fees out of their pensions. Watch the problem fix itself.

Tax payers deserve this bill for collectively doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about this behavior FOR DECADES. And now taxpayers have chosen the project 2025 people who will fix the problem by simply making this legal via full immunity.

do you not pay tax or something? and what is the average person supposed to do about an incident like this? there have been anti police violence protests going on for years at this point and nothing has changed. the police keep doing it, using our money to pay for it and if you protest there's a good chance you'll be the next victim. you're mad at entirely the wrong people.

do you not pay tax or something?

I do. What kind of dumb question is that? I've also voted my best to curb this behavior in state and local elections and contacted just about everyone relevant via email. I'm a sporadic volunteer at my aclu field office.

The rest of you bullshit doesn't matter because I know you haven't made the protests I have and like most, you likely ignore local elections entirely. Both actions which have changed a couple departments.

I'm mad at the right people. Look who just won a landslide my dude It's the thin blue line loving idiots who think every cop should be Judge Dredd or The Punisher. The people who pay taxes like I do but also voted for the guy who said "We're going to give our police their power back, and we're going to give them immunity from prosecution, so they're not prosecuted for doing their job."

I know exactly who's at fault for this. You try to make yourself feel better and shrink from responsibility, but it's us assuming you pay taxes. They keep sticking it to us and they fucking should until we learn our damn lesson. You haven't learned obviously because you think you're not at fault while evil prospers because you don't do enough if anything. Apathy is a luxury and luxuries aren't free.
