At 5:15 and near the end of the video there is mention of speaking to the city attorney about a potential settlement. Great. There should be.

But the Police Union should have to pick up every single cent of this man's medical bills.

The only way to bring the bad ones to heel is if they all take the hit financially. It's not fair to the citizens to have to pay for an individual's "I don't know."

The quality and extent of incompetence in this situation is astounding.
