Biker Awarded $180,000 After Being Kicked In Chest By Cop

[Zeus36]

A motorcyclist in Eugene, Oregon has been awarded $180,000 after a jury concluded a police officer used excessive force to detain him after a chase. The officer was in an UNMARKED police car, rear-ended the biker and broke his collar bone by kicking him in the chest even though the guy was complying with the officer:

The $180k settlement is more than justified. But, that COP should never work in law enforcement again. Just hitting the bike was ENOUGH to pull his badge, IMHO. No wonder people are pissed off with police officers in general. Which is a shame,because they aren't all bad. Sometimes COP's loose track of their job description.

We saw this one not to long ago, totally outrageous. That cop should be serving time rather than enjoying the promotion he received not long after this incident.
