    “This lawsuit is brought to prevent this from ever happening again”

    In the country where cop abuse happens all the time, and nothing ever stops or prevents it.

      My first thought after reading that sentence was “I have some bad news for her…”

      Edit: fixed dad to bad.

    She was dropping her son off as school. Her son was still in the car. She drove into the bus lane accidentally. The officer’s response was that he was “scared she was going to run someone over” … while her son who goes to the school is in the car. You could verify that in a 5 second radio call to the front office.

    We need to re-think policing in general if cops are allowed to enforce their worst fears instead of seeing what’s actually happening.
