The recent Tribune story of the Indianapolis jury awarding $1.5 million to a man beaten by police after he shot and killed a patrolman seems beyond reason. The taxpayers of Indianapolis must pay this plaintiff $1 million and his attorneys $500,000, while the family of the dead officer is left in mourning.
Such stories only reinforce the notion that all slighted (without regard to personal responsibility) should step up to the roulette wheel of civil litigation in hopes of the big payout.
