A day after the verdict, the jury returned to court on Thursday and decided Officer Alex Tellez should pay an additional $90,000 himself. City officials, however, can choose to indemnify Tellez.

As usual, you must spread reputation around before giving it to kathy88 again.

Yep, maybe if these cops knew they'd be the ones held personally liable, they'd rethink using excessive force.

Just sickening that we foot the bill for them to harass us, and murder our dogs and even friends from their "shoot first ask questions later" mentality.
