What they did was a travesty… I guess the MAGAts just don’t understand the constitution and bill of rights

that every American has the same rights. They want to be the overlords for the masses. I'm surprised this guy is getting justice in Tennessee of all places.

over his comment about a "burning Bush", which was a reference to a famous Bible story, when George the Lesser was occupying the White House?

geez

They are still fighting a Civil War against it. World War III shouldn’t scare us as much as Civil War II

That is Snowflake taken to subversion of First Amendment by local authorities. Glad they have to pay up.

Now that he has set the example, maybe all the others who were harassed, fired, jailed or otherwise had their first amendment rights trampled over their ck comments will follow suit.

Every federal worker dismissed by Musk's DOUCHE Gang should be making a claim immediately. And when "1776" runs out, Elmo is worth $850,000,000,000.

They did not commit crimes for the mob boss, and most importantly, they WILL not in the future.

The district attorney should have interceded in this case within hours not weeks. Their inaction to stop this obvious violation of civil rights borders on being unethical. The shame is that the individual officers are not being held personally responsible for the money damages. Either an insurance company or the taxpayers are on the hook. Not the individuals responsible.

when it comes to accountability among their own. It's part of why red states come in dead last on so many things.

It was an open and shut case for the plaintiff.

They made stuff up.

And only the taxpayers who actually pay taxes. Not the rich ones who can get out of them.

so he doesn't end up paying taxes that will be paying his settlement.

and i hope all those kirk obsessives / magats are thrilled as shit and think it's totally worth it to be paying that settlement out of their own pockets. ha. ha.

If he stayed the course, he would have had a lot more, plus taxes taken out, legal documentation of liability and accountability.

Settlement was done to protect accountability.

Until there are some firings/impeachments, as well as some jail time for those who actively did this...

Well, there is no justice in Perry County.

Which, some of us already knew.

(Our old pickup was from Perry County. It had a Perry County plate on it when we got it. The owners lived there at the time. They moved soon after... of course...)

I would also like to see those yokels fined whatever the law allows and never be allowed to work for any government agency or contractor again. Christian-Nationalists should be given no quarter in meting out their punishment.
