I think we might have found the most Bizzare story of the year:

http://cbs3.com/local/local_story_333101320.html

if they used excessive force as described, then i dont find it very odd at all.
police officers are not in the business of carrying out punishment, regardless
of how brutal the crime. of course the officers could be telling the truth, but obviously the court of law disagrees

I'm curious to know how is he going to split that dollar with the attorneys that represent him.

Whats bizarre is how our system constantly wants to hold a higher standard of restraint to those with less training then police officers who act out in "justice" and receive punishments.

What would have been really funny though is if the guy was awarded 1 dollar and then the system awarded that to the jail for payments lol.

you know what? i misread the article. one dollar? what a waste of tax dollars

One dollar. Funny.

You could buy many things with a dollar.

What's sad is that the courts decided to take the word of a crack smoking, samurai sword wielding, murdering midget over police officers...

perhaps its just the court's solution to reprimand the officers while not rewarding the criminal....its actually pretty smart now that i think of it

I wish I had a dollar...

At least you know what you have to do for the courts to award you a dollar at least in PA.

McDonald's 1 dollar menu?


I'm hungry.

It's quite a common award.

It's a nominal payment. It indicates the rightness of the winning party, while pointing out that there are no damages needed.

A moral victory, as it were.

Oh goody, taxpayers get to pay the cost of the trial for this "moral victory".

Sounds worthwhile.

I thought that the award was $1 million......and I was angry.

but the $1 is pretty goddamn hilarious.

A waste of taxpayer dollars, to be sure, but that's the price of comedy

dumbass shouldnt have killed his neighbor. now that i think of it, he shouldnt have been smoking crack, then none of this would have ever happened.

I don't know whether to laugh or be disgusted.

Personally I feel like laughing, he couldn't actually have thought he would rightfully get 35 million dollars after being strung out and with a person on fire in his living room.

But it's kinda worrisome since it's kinda a slap in the face of the justice system seeing as how the jury did in fact find him the winner yet he didn't get any damages but a dollar. That's just a form of further punishment imo. I mean what he did was disgusting yes, but he was wronged as well no? So just as his victim gets what's due with his imprisonment etc, I think he should receive justice as well.

i am glad i am not the only one who feels like laughing about it.

And I also know why.

Money can be exchanged for goods and services.
