[Belcourt] received a $150,000 workers' compensation settlement from the city in March and receives over $59,000 per year in pension payments after retiring early due to post-traumatic stress disorder

Fark, how many years does it take to earn that perk?

According to the fascist puff piece above she was served in the Army in Iraq and became a cop 10 years later.

So say she was in Iraq from 2003-2004. Became a cop in 2014.

Six years.

She should be criminally charged for her crime.

But as a member of the MPD, that's nearly impossible.

George Floyd was one of the few exceptions, and likely only happened because it was caught on film and due to the amount of arson during the riots.

If you don't believe me, look at the Jamar Clark shooting.  People protested peacefully for months outside the precinct.  No criminal charges were filed.

Or heck, look at Derek Chauvin, who in 2017 assaulted a 14 year old with his flashlight, then held him down with his knee on his neck until the boy passed out.  He never faced charges for that crime until after his conviction for the George Floyd murder.

/ I can't condone the arson.
// But I can understand that it was effective.
/// I'd ideally love to live in a system where it doesn't take arson to bring cops to justice for killing marginalized people.

She recalled how outnumbered law enforcement officers were unable to control the city...

Such an interesting, fantastical view of the world. The citizens behave because they choose to, not because cops lurk about threatening to force them to do so.

That sounds ever so much like the murder who shot that dude crying and crawling on the ground.  Seems like abuse of the whole PTSD thing.

I have PTSD, and a farked up back and shoulder. This is from a combat deployment. I experienced continual mortar and rocket fire. The housing trailer 3 down from mine took a rocket and burned to the ground. 2 out of 6 soldiers didn't make it out (the smell of what was left is something I'll never forget) . My trailer had a mortar impact 15 feet away and peppered it with shrapnel. Exactly where I was standing just maybe 20 seconds earlier.

The VA considers me 60% disabled. My monthly pay is about $1,300. The maximum payment for being 100% disabled (like being rendered blind, losing a few limbs, generally being pretty farked up and unable to hold any kind of meaningful job) is about $3,100 a month.

This biatch is getting damn near $5k a month (on top of a $150k payout which is exactly $0 for soldiers) because....she attacked a bunch of protesters for the crime of legally protesting, and people didn't like that, so it made her feel bad? What in the most holy of farks?

No other profession in the world lets you commit serious crimes and only fire you (maybe) for what would put any one else in jail for years. Not to mention paying you for the rest of your life, not because you are upset you did those crimes, but because you are upset other people got upset that you committed crimes.

Hey, that guy incorrectly cried and crawled. So he deserved to be shot. Really it was all his fault. The cop should sue his family for his having caused such pain and suffering to a brave officer.

Shiat bro that is farked up.  You should be getting much more.

I have a mate who is getting $3200 a fortnight from PTSD and his was because a higher ranking dude got into his bed and put a finger up is arse.  Sure a lot of it is because of how the navy handled his complaints, they just fobbed him off, but dude you should be getting more.

She runs the banana stand with her wife, but I bet she votes straight line GOP & her union gives millions to candidates like Scott Jensen who support conversion therapy and overturning same sex marriage.

Seems pretty typical that cops want all the rights for themselves & none for us civilian scum.

PTSD is the new I'M DISABLED scam.   My neighbor admitted to using it to finally get 100% after being 'stuck' at 90% for a while.   Dude has never been deployed and is in IT.   Now he pays no house or car tax, and his kids go to college for free.  Plus his monthly payments are 3820 or so (https://www.va.gov/disability/compensation-rates/veteran-rates/ )

So basically, 25 average households' federal taxes are used just so this guy can live for a year, sounds like this cop is doing the same.  This is not sustainable, expect shiat to suffer for this later.

(I feel bad for the actual PTSD people, but it shouldn't be a free ticket to 100%)
