I’d rather have my eye… which tends to suggest the pay out was too low?
Frankly an eye seems like I should have at least cracked the million threshold
I’m pretty sure that won’t even cover one of those basic ass active prosthetics.
Not after the lawyers cut, that's for sure
Should have been paid by the cops themselves or their "unions" rather than the city budget. Also should have been several times more.
Nice that all the taxes I paid while living in Denver for years would cover a small fraction of that.
Well, shit, take the other one, too. Laughing my way to the bank, dumbasses.
In Canada 1 million dollars won't even get you a decent house. I'd rather have my vision.
It wouldn't in the US either, unless it's in one of the worst parts of one of the worst states, and who in their right mind would move TO such a place??
