A retired Tennessee law enforcement officer who was held in jail for more than a month after police arrested him over a Facebook post of a meme related to the assassination of Charlie Kirk has settled a “unlawful incarceration” lawsuit for $835,000. https://cnn.it/4a01ILv

It’s coming from the taxpayers. Not personally from the bastards who locked him up. Guess best we can hope for is a trickle down effect that gets the sheriff booted from office but most voters are too ill informed to make the connection

Not that I blame him for taking the money...But the fact that the sheriff and county get to go away without admitting any fault makes it so this entire thing was for nothing as far as everybody else is concerned. We can expect more of the same from this sheriff and this county in the future.

I don’t want to give my tax money to anytime, but I would much rather it pay this man for his trouble than any Nazi insurrectionist from Jan 6.
