    What kind of attorney do these wimpy cops have? They sued for all those things and they forgot loss of consortium? Ever try to “consortium” yourself with a broken thumb? It ain’t easy.

    Ok, I know. I’m an unfeeling stone face.

    But isn’t breaking up a drunken party one of the duties of a police officer? If not them, who?

    The lawsuits seek damages for pain and suffering; fright, shock and mental anguish; lost wages; medical expenses; loss of enjoyment of life; and attorney fees.

    Are you kidding me? This poor police officer has loss of enjoyment of life due to a dislocated thumb? Fright?

    If he was legimately frightened by a drunk woman yelling, I think he has no place on a police force. If he can’t handle a drunk woman how on earth would he handle a cracked out junkie? Oh, that’s right, cracked out junkies don’t have umbrella policies.

    These clowns should be exposed for the embarrasments to the police force that they are.

    well, let’s see a few things:

    1) were these cops on company time or off-duty company time?

    2) if off-duty, did they get permission to do the midnite owl?

    3) if on company time, where is the workman’s comp? this would take care of the injury and loss of wages.

    4) if off company time, the folks that hired him should have workman’s comp, again, that covers those items.

    — as far as the other situations of fright and what not, don’t they deal w/that everyday as a police officer? so what makes this any different, afterall, don’t the police come in a variety of events? it not exactly a pretty site many times. think about the accidents they have to do? so many things can make them frighten or scared…this one needs to be thrown out!

    Hey Matt, That is what the lawsuit is about. They will win mega bucks and then go on perminant disability and no longer have to work on the police force. Then they will open a business or work somewhere else. This is a typical game cops play all over the country.

    Instead of having a jury of your peers decide whether you are guilty or innocent the law should allow a jury of your peers to decide if your lawsuit should be allowed to reach trial. And if a jury of your peers decide it is a waste of the courts time the plantiff should face the death penalty. This would cause people to think long and hard before they file these sort of ridiculous, time wasting, money sucking, deep pocket scrounging lawsuits. I am so sick of seeing one posting after another in IJ of retards asking for money they don’t deserve.

    The death penalty is a bit harsh. What they should do is cut their thumbs off instead.

    They should be embarrased to file such a lawsuit – wimpy cops were afraid…poor things…who are they really – Barney Fife and friend? Shouldn’t there be something in a police officer’s contract that says they can’t sue for things that happen in the line of duty? If they were afraid in the instance, what would they do facing someone with a knife or gun? I think the lawsuit should be thrown out and these cops find a job they are better suited for!
